About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Munda Airport (MUA), Munda, New Georgia Island, Solomon Islands and Syukuran Aminuddin Amir Airport (LUW), Luwuk, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,426 miles (or 3,905 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 relatively short distance between Munda Airport and Syukuran Aminuddin Amir Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Munda Airport (MUA):

  • Munda Airport (MUA) currently has only 1 runway.
