About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Dutchess County Airport (POU), Poughkeepsie, New York, United States and Lubango Mukanka Airport (SDD), Lubango, Angola would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,771 miles (or 10,897 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 Dutchess County Airport and Lubango Mukanka 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 Dutchess County Airport and Lubango Mukanka Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Dutchess County Airport (POU) has 3 runways.
- The furthest airport from Dutchess County Airport (POU) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,714 miles (18,852 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- The closest airport to Dutchess County Airport (POU) is Stewart International Airport (SWF), which is located only 14 miles (23 kilometers) SW of POU.
- Because of Dutchess County Airport's relatively low elevation of 165 feet, planes can take off or land at Dutchess County 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.
- When Stewart International Airport, which is located just across the Hudson River, started commercial operations in 1990, most commercial airline service ended at Dutchess County Airport.
- A Flight Service Station was opened at the airport, but closed during the 1990s.
