Nonstop flight route between Guarulhos (near São Paulo), São Paulo (state), Brazil and Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU), Guarulhos (near São Paulo), São Paulo (state), Brazil and General Justo José de Urquiza Airport (PRA), Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,032 miles (or 1,661 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 São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport and General Justo José de Urquiza Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
