Nonstop flight route between Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador and León, Guanajuato, Mexico:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE), Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador and Guanajuato International Airport (BJX), León, Guanajuato, Mexico would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,166 miles (or 3,486 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 José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport and Guanajuato International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE):

• The original project in 2003–2004 contemplated the construction of a 28,000 m2 international terminal and the continuing operation of the old terminal, which would be left to handle only domestic flights.
• The closest airport to José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) is General Ulpiano Paez Airport (SNC), which is located 76 miles (123 kilometers) W of GYE.
• In addition to being known as "José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport", another name for GYE is "Aeropuerto Internacional José Joaquín de Olmedo".
• José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 19 feet, planes can take off or land at José Joaquín de Olmedo 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 airport resides at an elevation of 19 feet above mean sea level and it has one runway designated 03/21 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,790 by 46 metres.
• The construction of the new terminal and expansion of the runway was finally decided in 2003–2004, years after making the decision that the current infrastructure was not sufficient to cover the city's needs, but that it was not yet commercially viable to build an entirely new airport in the Daular area.
• The furthest airport from José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) is Aek Godang Airport (AEG), which is nearly antipodal to José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (meaning José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Aek Godang Airport), and is located 12,366 miles (19,901 kilometers) away in Padang Sidempuan, Indonesia.

• Because of Guanajuato International Airport's high elevation of 5,956 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BJX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BJX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Guanajuato International Airport (BJX) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,452 miles (18,430 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
