About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Macau International Airport (MFM), Taipa, Macau and Hermanos Serdán International Airport (PBC), Puebla, Mexico would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,858 miles (or 14,256 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 Macau International Airport and Hermanos Serdán International 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 Macau International Airport and Hermanos Serdán International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Macau International Airport (MFM) currently has only 1 runway.
- Navigational and radio aids are located at either end of the runway.
- Cross-Border Coach connects Macau International Airport with mainland locations like Huadao, Guangzhou, Panyu, Dongguan, Gongbei Border Gate and Hengqin Border.

- The closest airport to Macau International Airport (MFM) is Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH), which is located only 17 miles (27 kilometers) SW of MFM.

- Because of Macau International Airport's relatively low elevation of 20 feet, planes can take off or land at Macau International 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.
