Nonstop flight route between Guarulhos (near São Paulo), São Paulo (state), Brazil and Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil:

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 Uberlândia–Ten. Cel. Av. César Bombonato Airport (UDI), Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil would travel a Great Circle distance of 334 miles (or 538 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 Uberlândia–Ten. Cel. Av. César Bombonato Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
