About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Misrata International Airport (MRA), Misrata, Libya and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,390 miles (or 10,283 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 Misrata International Airport and Apolo 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 Misrata International Airport and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Misrata International Airport (MRA):
- The closest airport to Misrata International Airport (MRA) is Mitiga International Airport (MJI), which is located 111 miles (178 kilometers) WNW of MRA.
- Because of Misrata International Airport's relatively low elevation of 59 feet, planes can take off or land at Misrata 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.
- In addition to being known as "Misrata International Airport", other names for MRA include "مطار مصراته الدولي" and "HLMS".
- The furthest airport from Misrata International Airport (MRA) is Rarotonga International Airport (RAR), which is located 11,606 miles (18,678 kilometers) away in Avarua, Cook Islands.

- In addition to being known as "Apolo Airport", another name for APB is "Apolo Airport (Apolo)".
- Because of Apolo Airport's high elevation of 4,642 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at APB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make APB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
