About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH), Loja, Ecuador and Hengchun Airport (HCN), Hengchun, Taiwan would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,602 miles (or 17,062 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 Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport and Hengchun 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 Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport and Hengchun Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH):
- The furthest airport from Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH) is Sitiawan Airport (SWY), which is nearly antipodal to Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (meaning Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sitiawan Airport), and is located 12,421 miles (19,989 kilometers) away in Perak, Malaysia.
- Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport's high elevation of 4,056 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LOH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LOH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Camilo Ponce Enriquez Airport (LOH) is José María Velasco Ibarra Airport (MRR), which is located 47 miles (76 kilometers) SW of LOH.

- In addition to being known as "Hengchun Airport", other names for HCN include "恆春航空站恆春機場" and "Héngchūn HángkōngzhànHéngchūn Jīchǎng".
- Because of Hengchun Airport's relatively low elevation of 46 feet, planes can take off or land at Hengchun 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.
