About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), Georgetown, Guyana and Vilo Acuña Airport Juan Vitalio Acuña Airport (CYO), Cayo Largo del Sur, Cuba would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,873 miles (or 3,015 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Cheddi Jagan International Airport and Vilo Acuña Airport Juan Vitalio Acuña Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
