About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Miri Airport (MYY), Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,254 miles (or 3,627 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 Miri Airport and Chimbu Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Miri Airport (MYY):
- Miri's location in the middle of Malaysian Borneo and close to the border of Brunei makes it a suitable hub for rural air services and an important gateway to Sarawak.
- The closest airport to Miri Airport (MYY) is Marudi Airport (MUR), which is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) ESE of MYY.
- Miri Airport is an airport located 9.5 km south east of Miri, a city in the state of Sarawak in East Malaysia.
- Miri Airport handled 2,223,172 passengers last year.
- Because of Miri Airport's relatively low elevation of 59 feet, planes can take off or land at Miri 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 furthest airport from Miri Airport (MYY) is Carauari Airport (CAF), which is nearly antipodal to Miri Airport (meaning Miri Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Carauari Airport), and is located 12,365 miles (19,899 kilometers) away in Carauari, Amazonas, Brazil.
- Miri Airport (MYY) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Miri Airport", another name for MYY is "Lapangan Terbang Miri".
Facts about Chimbu Airport (CMU):
- The closest airport to Chimbu Airport (CMU) is Goroka Airport (GKA), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) E of CMU.
- The furthest airport from Chimbu Airport (CMU) is Governador Carlos Wilson Airport (FEN), which is located 11,731 miles (18,879 kilometers) away in Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco, Brazil.
- Chimbu Airport (CMU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Chimbu Airport's high elevation of 4,974 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CMU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CMU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
