About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between General Santos International Airport (GES), General Santos City, Philippines and Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,237 miles (or 11,646 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 large distance between General Santos International Airport and Megève Aerodrome, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between General Santos International Airport and Megève Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about General Santos International Airport (GES):

  • Interior Ticketing Area
  • Upon the opening of the new airport in 1996, it has since gotten hold of the record as the biggest airport facility in the island of Mindanao, which has then become a very promising addition to the potential of the city of General Santos in its bid to become a "Boom Town"—which means rapidly developing urban center—as it was indeed dubbed as is during the time.
  • Because of General Santos International Airport's relatively low elevation of 505 feet, planes can take off or land at General Santos International Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
  • The furthest airport from General Santos International Airport (GES) is Itaituba Airport (ITB), which is nearly antipodal to General Santos International Airport (meaning General Santos International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Itaituba Airport), and is located 12,290 miles (19,779 kilometers) away in Itaituba, Pará, Brazil.
  • General Santos International Airport handled 611,274 passengers last year.
  • General Santos International Airport (GES) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to General Santos International Airport (GES) is Allah Valley Airport (AAV), which is located 32 miles (51 kilometers) NW of GES.
  • General Santos International Airport is approximately 14 kilometers away from the central business district of General Santos City.
  • General Santos International Airport is an alternate international airport located in General Santos City, Philippines serving the greater area of SOCCSKSARGEN.
  • In addition to being known as "General Santos International Airport", another name for GES is "Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Heneral SantosTugpahanang Pangkalibutanon sa Heneral SantosPangkalibutan nga Hulugpaan sang Heneral Santos".

Facts about Megève Aerodrome (MVV):

  • Megève Aerodrome (MVV) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) S of MVV.
  • Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • The furthest airport from Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Megève Aerodrome (meaning Megève Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,231 miles (19,683 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • In addition to being known as "Megève Aerodrome", another name for MVV is "Altiport de Megève".
