About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Geelong Airport (GEX), Grovedale, Victoria, Australia and Dschang Airport (DSC), Dschang, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,789 miles (or 14,144 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 Geelong Airport and Dschang Airport, 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 Geelong Airport and Dschang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Geelong Airport (GEX):
- Because of Geelong Airport's relatively low elevation of 140 feet, planes can take off or land at Geelong 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 Geelong Airport (GEX) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Geelong Airport (meaning Geelong Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,178 miles (19,599 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
- The closest airport to Geelong Airport (GEX) is Avalon Airport (AVV), which is located only 16 miles (25 kilometers) NW of GEX.
Facts about Dschang Airport (DSC):
- The closest airport to Dschang Airport (DSC) is Bafoussam Airport (BFX), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) ENE of DSC.
- Dschang Airport (DSC) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Dschang Airport", another name for DSC is "Dschang Airport (Dschang)".
- The furthest airport from Dschang Airport (DSC) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Dschang Airport (meaning Dschang Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,215 miles (19,658 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Dschang Airport's high elevation of 4,619 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DSC. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DSC a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
