About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Lubang Airport (LBX), Lubang, Occidental Mindoro, Philippines and De Kooy Airfield (DHR), Den Helder, Netherlands would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,453 miles (or 10,386 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 Lubang Airport and De Kooy Airfield, 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 Lubang Airport and De Kooy Airfield. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Lubang Airport's relatively low elevation of 43 feet, planes can take off or land at Lubang 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 "Lubang Airport", another name for LBX is "Paliparan ng Lubang".
- Lubang Airport (LBX) currently has only 1 runway.

- Most movements on the De Kooy are made by helicopters, bringing workers to and from offshore oilrigs and naval helicopters such as the Westland Lynx or NH90 of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
- The oil fields in the North Sea will eventually be depleted and when that happens the airport would lose most of its helicopter movements and thus alternative markets are being looked at, such as business and holiday flights.
