About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Magdalena Airport (MGD), Magdalena, Bolivia and Gitega Airport (GID), Gitega, Burundi would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,436 miles (or 10,357 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 Magdalena Airport and Gitega 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 Magdalena Airport and Gitega Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Magdalena Airport (MGD):
- Magdalena Airport (MGD) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Magdalena Airport (MGD) is El Nido Airport (ENI), which is nearly antipodal to Magdalena Airport (meaning Magdalena Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from El Nido Airport), and is located 12,156 miles (19,564 kilometers) away in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines.
- Because of Magdalena Airport's relatively low elevation of 463 feet, planes can take off or land at Magdalena 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 "Magdalena Airport", another name for MGD is "Magdalena Airport (Magdalena)".
- The closest airport to Magdalena Airport (MGD) is Huacaraje Airport (BVK), which is located 27 miles (43 kilometers) SE of MGD.
Facts about Gitega Airport (GID):
- The closest airport to Gitega Airport (GID) is Bujumbura International Airport (BJM), which is located 42 miles (68 kilometers) W of GID.
- The furthest airport from Gitega Airport (GID) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,925 miles (19,192 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Gitega Airport's high elevation of 5,741 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GID. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GID a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
