About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX), Oaxaca, Mexico and Moffett Federal Airfield (NUQ), Mountain View, California, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,087 miles (or 3,359 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 Xoxocotlán International Airport and Moffett Federal Airfield, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX):
- Because of Xoxocotlán International Airport's high elevation of 4,989 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at OAX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make OAX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is located 11,472 miles (18,462 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
- Xoxocotlán International Airport (OAX) currently has only 1 runway.

- Because of Moffett Federal Airfield's relatively low elevation of 32 feet, planes can take off or land at Moffett Federal Airfield 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.
