About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cerro Largo International Airport (MLZ), Melo, Cerro Largo, Uruguay and Leribe Airport (LRB), Leribe, Lesotho would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,770 miles (or 7,677 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 Cerro Largo International Airport and Leribe 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 Cerro Largo International Airport and Leribe Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Cerro Largo International Airport (MLZ) is Cerro Largo International Airport (VCH), which is located 47 miles (75 kilometers) NNW of MLZ.
- Because of Cerro Largo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 364 feet, planes can take off or land at Cerro Largo 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.
