About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Marinduque Airport (MRQ), Gasan, Marinduque, Philippines and Mbarara Airport (MBQ), Mbarara, Uganda would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,310 miles (or 10,154 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 Marinduque 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 Marinduque Airport and Mbarara Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Marinduque Airport (MRQ):

- The closest airport to Marinduque Airport (MRQ) is Tugdan Airport (TBH), which is located 75 miles (120 kilometers) SSE of MRQ.
- Because of Marinduque Airport's relatively low elevation of 16 feet, planes can take off or land at Marinduque 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 "Marinduque Airport", another name for MRQ is "Paliparan ng Marinduque".
- Marinduque Airport (MRQ) currently has only 1 runway.
- Marinduque Airport handled 1,099 passengers last year.
Facts about Mbarara Airport (MBQ):
