About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Maio Airport (MMO), Maio, Cape Verde and Canyonlands Field (CNY), Moab, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,385 miles (or 8,666 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 Maio Airport and Canyonlands Field, 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 Maio Airport and Canyonlands Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Maio Airport (MMO):
- The furthest airport from Maio Airport (MMO) is Bellona/Anua Airport (BNY), which is nearly antipodal to Maio Airport (meaning Maio Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Bellona/Anua Airport), and is located 12,102 miles (19,477 kilometers) away in Anua, Bellona Island, Solomon Islands.
- Maio Airport (MMO) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Maio Airport (MMO) is Praia International Airport (RAI), which is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) SW of MMO.
- Because of Maio Airport's relatively low elevation of 36 feet, planes can take off or land at Maio 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.
Facts about Canyonlands Field (CNY):
- Canyonlands Field (CNY) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Canyonlands Field (CNY) is Monticello Airport (MXC), which is located 61 miles (98 kilometers) SSE of CNY.
- The furthest airport from Canyonlands Field (CNY) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,061 miles (17,801 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Because of Canyonlands Field's high elevation of 4,557 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CNY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CNY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Frontier Airlines provided a service from 1958 until some time between 1970 and 1975.
