About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Margaret River Airport (MGV), Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia and Mbarara Airport (MBQ), Mbarara, Uganda would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,882 miles (or 9,466 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 Margaret River Airport and Mbarara 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 Margaret River Airport and Mbarara Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Margaret River Airport (MGV):
- Margaret River Airport (MGV) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Margaret River Airport (MGV) is Busselton Regional Airport (BQB), which is located 24 miles (39 kilometers) NE of MGV.
- Because of Margaret River Airport's relatively low elevation of 374 feet, planes can take off or land at Margaret River 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.
- The furthest airport from Margaret River Airport (MGV) is L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), which is nearly antipodal to Margaret River Airport (meaning Margaret River Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from L.F. Wade International Airport), and is located 12,328 miles (19,840 kilometers) away in Ferry Reach (near Hamilton), Bermuda.
Facts about Mbarara Airport (MBQ):
- The closest airport to Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Kasese Airport (KSE), which is located 62 miles (100 kilometers) NNW of MBQ.
- Mbarara Airport (MBQ) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,879 miles (19,117 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Mbarara Airport's high elevation of 4,600 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
