About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Hobart International Airport (HBA), Hobart, Tasmania, Australia and Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,770 miles (or 14,113 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 Hobart International Airport and Bafoussam 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 Hobart International Airport and Bafoussam Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Hobart International Airport (HBA):
- Hobart International Airport (HBA) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Hobart International Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Hobart 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.
- Previous airlines to fly from the airport include Ansett Australia, Compass Airlines, Tasair, Trans Australia Airlines and Air New Zealand.
- Prior to the existence of the airport, the region was served by Cambridge Airport, a small airport located close to the existing site.
- Hobart International Airport handled 1,855,849 passengers last year.
- The development would also provide car parking for over 2,000 cars and road works will most likely be conducted on Holyman Avenue to ensure that traffic flow into the airport itself is not affected.
- The closest airport to Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Launceston Airport (LST), which is located 91 miles (146 kilometers) N of HBA.
- Early in 2006, the airport announced plans to build a Direct Factory Outlet just east of Holyman Avenue.
- The furthest airport from Hobart International Airport (HBA) is Corvo Airport (CVU), which is nearly antipodal to Hobart International Airport (meaning Hobart International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Corvo Airport), and is located 12,207 miles (19,645 kilometers) away in Corvo Island, Azores, Portugal.
- The international terminal was opened in 1983 to facilitate Trans-Tasman air traffic.
Facts about Bafoussam Airport (BFX):
- Bafoussam Airport (BFX) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Bafoussam Airport (meaning Bafoussam Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,199 miles (19,632 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Bafoussam Airport's high elevation of 4,347 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BFX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BFX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Dschang Airport (DSC), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) WSW of BFX.
