About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Junín Airport (JNI), Junín, Buenos Aires, Argentina and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,164 miles (or 14,748 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 Junín Airport and Chimbu 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 Junín Airport and Chimbu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Junín Airport (JNI):
- The furthest airport from Junín Airport (JNI) is Lianyungang Baitabu Airport (LYG), which is nearly antipodal to Junín Airport (meaning Junín Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Lianyungang Baitabu Airport), and is located 12,426 miles (19,997 kilometers) away in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China.
- Junín Airport (JNI) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Junín Airport's relatively low elevation of 262 feet, planes can take off or land at Junín 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.
- In addition to being known as "Junín Airport", another name for JNI is "Aeropuerto de Junín".
- The closest airport to Junín Airport (JNI) is Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport (PEH), which is located 104 miles (167 kilometers) SSW of JNI.

- The closest airport to Chimbu Airport (CMU) is Goroka Airport (GKA), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) E of CMU.
