Nonstop flight route between Mota Lava, Vanuatu and Bogotá, Colombia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Mota Lava Airport (MTV), Mota Lava, Vanuatu and El Dorado International Airport (BOG), Bogotá, Colombia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,183 miles (or 13,169 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 Mota Lava Airport and El Dorado International 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 Mota Lava Airport and El Dorado International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Mota Lava Airport (MTV):

• The airport resides at an elevation of 63 feet above mean sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Mota Lava Airport", another name for MTV is "Valua Airport".
• Because of Mota Lava Airport's relatively low elevation of 63 feet, planes can take off or land at Mota Lava 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 closest airport to Mota Lava Airport (MTV) is Vanua Lava Airport (SLH), which is located only 17 miles (28 kilometers) SW of MTV.
• Valua airport is 12 km away from the island's main center.
• The furthest airport from Mota Lava Airport (MTV) is Kédougou Airport (KGG), which is nearly antipodal to Mota Lava Airport (meaning Mota Lava Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kédougou Airport), and is located 12,361 miles (19,893 kilometers) away in Kédougou, Senegal.

Facts about El Dorado International Airport (BOG):

• In 1981, Avianca undertook the construction of a new exclusive terminal to be called the Puente Aéreo, which was eventually inaugurated by President Julio Cesar Turbay Ayala Avianca's original purpose for the terminal was for flights serving Cali, Medellín, Miami and New York.
• The process began with the creation of the new terminal.
• The base acquired the status of Operations and Logistics Support Center by FAC Directive No.
• In addition to being known as "El Dorado International Airport", another name for BOG is "Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado".
• The furthest airport from El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ), which is nearly antipodal to El Dorado International Airport (meaning El Dorado International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Gunung Batin Airport), and is located 12,394 miles (19,946 kilometers) away in Astraksetra, Indonesia.
• El Dorado International Airport (BOG) has 2 runways.
• The closest airport to El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Santiago Vila Airport (GIR), which is located 54 miles (86 kilometers) WSW of BOG.
• Because of El Dorado International Airport's high elevation of 8,361 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BOG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BOG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The third milestone of the project began in late November 2009.
