About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jalaluddin Airport (GTO), Gorontalo, Indonesia and Bunia Airport (BUX), Bunia, Ituri, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,399 miles (or 10,298 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 Jalaluddin Airport and Bunia 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 Jalaluddin Airport and Bunia Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Jalaluddin Airport (GTO):
- The furthest airport from Jalaluddin Airport (GTO) is Porto de Trombetas Airport (TMT), which is nearly antipodal to Jalaluddin Airport (meaning Jalaluddin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Porto de Trombetas Airport), and is located 12,359 miles (19,889 kilometers) away in Porto Trombetas, Oriximiná, Pará, Brazil.
- The closest airport to Jalaluddin Airport (GTO) is Pogogul Airport (UOL), which is located 104 miles (168 kilometers) WNW of GTO.
- Because of Jalaluddin Airport's relatively low elevation of 105 feet, planes can take off or land at Jalaluddin 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.
- Jalaluddin Airport (GTO) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Bunia Airport (BUX):
- Bunia Airport (BUX) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Bunia Airport (BUX) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,859 miles (19,085 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
- The closest airport to Bunia Airport (BUX) is Beni Airport (BNC), which is located 86 miles (138 kilometers) SW of BUX.
- Because of Bunia Airport's high elevation of 4,045 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BUX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BUX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
