About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Middle Caicos Airport (MDS), Middle Caicos, Turks and Caicos Islands and Aeroporto de Andulo (ANL), Andulo, Angola would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,418 miles (or 10,328 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 Middle Caicos Airport and Aeroporto de Andulo, 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 Middle Caicos Airport and Aeroporto de Andulo. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Middle Caicos Airport (MDS):
- The furthest airport from Middle Caicos Airport (MDS) is RAAF Learmonth (LEA), which is nearly antipodal to Middle Caicos Airport (meaning Middle Caicos Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from RAAF Learmonth), and is located 12,058 miles (19,406 kilometers) away in Exmouth, Western Australia, Australia.
- The closest airport to Middle Caicos Airport (MDS) is North Caicos Airport (NCA), which is located only 11 miles (17 kilometers) NW of MDS.
- Because of Middle Caicos Airport's relatively low elevation of 9 feet, planes can take off or land at Middle Caicos 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.
- Middle Caicos Airport (MDS) currently has only 1 runway.

- The furthest airport from Aeroporto de Andulo (ANL) is Johnston Atoll Airport (JON), which is located 11,883 miles (19,123 kilometers) away in Johnston Atoll, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands.
- Because of Aeroporto de Andulo's high elevation of 5,446 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
