About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Matecaña International Airport (PEI), Pereira, Colombia and Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO), Clayton, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,792 miles (or 4,493 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 Matecaña International Airport and Clayton Municipal Airpark, 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 Matecaña International Airport and Clayton Municipal Airpark. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Matecaña International Airport (PEI):
- Matecaña International Airport handled 646 passengers last year.
- In addition to being known as "Matecaña International Airport", another name for PEI is "Aeropuerto Internacional Matecaña".
- Because of Matecaña International Airport's relatively low elevation of 4 feet, planes can take off or land at Matecaña International 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.
- Matecaña International Airport (PEI) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Matecaña International Airport (PEI) is Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ), which is nearly antipodal to Matecaña International Airport (meaning Matecaña International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Gunung Batin Airport), and is located 12,368 miles (19,905 kilometers) away in Astraksetra, Indonesia.
- The closest airport to Matecaña International Airport (PEI) is Santa Ana Airport (CRC), which is located only 15 miles (25 kilometers) WSW of PEI.
Facts about Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO):
- Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,024 miles (17,741 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- The closest airport to Clayton Municipal Airpark (CAO) is Dalhart Municipal Airport (DHT), which is located 45 miles (72 kilometers) SE of CAO.
- Because of Clayton Municipal Airpark's high elevation of 4,970 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CAO. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CAO a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
