About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport (PEH), Pehuajó, Argentina and Grand Central Airport (GCJ), Johannesburg, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,191 miles (or 8,354 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 Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport and Grand Central 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 Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport and Grand Central Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport's relatively low elevation of 278 feet, planes can take off or land at Comodoro Pedro Zanni 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.
- Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport (PEH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport (PEH) is Linyi Shubuling Airport (LYI), which is nearly antipodal to Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport (meaning Comodoro Pedro Zanni Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Linyi Shubuling Airport), and is located 12,380 miles (19,923 kilometers) away in Linyi, Shandong, China.
