About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kampot Airport (KMT), Kampot, Kampot Province, Cambodia and Kolwezi Airport (KWZ), Kolwezi, Lualaba District, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,601 miles (or 9,013 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 Kampot Airport and Kolwezi 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 Kampot Airport and Kolwezi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kampot Airport (KMT):
- Because of Kampot Airport's relatively low elevation of 16 feet, planes can take off or land at Kampot 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.
- Kampot Airport (KMT) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Kampot Airport (KMT) is Sihanoukvill International Airportអាកាសយានដ្ឋានអន្តរជាតិក្រុងព្រះសីហនុ Aéroport International de Sihanoukville (KOS), which is located 36 miles (58 kilometers) W of KMT.
- In addition to being known as "Kampot Airport", another name for KMT is "Kampot Airport (Kampot)".
- The furthest airport from Kampot Airport (KMT) is Alf. FAP David Figueroa Fernandini (HUU), which is nearly antipodal to Kampot Airport (meaning Kampot Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Alf.

- Kolwezi Airport (KWZ) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Kolwezi Airport (KWZ) is Solwezi Airport (SLI), which is located 113 miles (183 kilometers) SSE of KWZ.
- Because of Kolwezi Airport's high elevation of 5,007 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KWZ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KWZ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
