About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ilo Airport (ILQ), Ilo, Moquegua Region, Peru and Grand Central Airport (GCJ), Johannesburg, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,250 miles (or 10,058 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 Ilo Airport and Grand Central 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 Ilo Airport and Grand Central Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ilo Airport (ILQ):
- The closest airport to Ilo Airport (ILQ) is Chacalluta International Airport (ACM), which is located 80 miles (129 kilometers) SE of ILQ.
- The furthest airport from Ilo Airport (ILQ) is Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SYX), which is nearly antipodal to Ilo Airport (meaning Ilo Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sanya Phoenix International Airport), and is located 12,372 miles (19,910 kilometers) away in Sanya, Hainan, China.
- Because of Ilo Airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet, planes can take off or land at Ilo 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.
- Ilo Airport (ILQ) currently has only 1 runway.
Facts about Grand Central Airport (GCJ):
- The closest airport to Grand Central Airport (GCJ) is O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), which is located only 12 miles (20 kilometers) SSE of GCJ.
- Because of Grand Central Airport's high elevation of 5,327 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GCJ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GCJ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- This is a small airfield that is restricted to light aircraft only.
