About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Obando Airport (PDA), Puerto Inírida, Colombia and Mount Hagen Airport (HGU), Mount Hagen, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,216 miles (or 16,441 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 Obando Airport and Mount Hagen 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 Obando Airport and Mount Hagen Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Obando Airport (PDA):
- The furthest airport from Obando Airport (PDA) is H. Asan Airport (SMQ), which is nearly antipodal to Obando Airport (meaning Obando Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from H. Asan Airport), and is located 12,325 miles (19,835 kilometers) away in Sampit, Central Kalimantan (Borneo), Indonesia.
- Obando Airport (PDA) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Obando Airport's relatively low elevation of 460 feet, planes can take off or land at Obando 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 Obando Airport (PDA) is Cacique Aramare Airport (PYH), which is located 124 miles (199 kilometers) N of PDA.
Facts about Mount Hagen Airport (HGU):

- Mount Hagen Airport (HGU) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Mount Hagen Airport (HGU) is Chimbu Airport (CMU), which is located 48 miles (78 kilometers) ESE of HGU.
- Because of Mount Hagen Airport's high elevation of 5,388 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HGU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HGU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
