About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Antonio Nariño Airport (PSO), Pasto, Colombia and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 9,507 miles (or 15,299 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 Antonio Nariño Airport and Chimbu 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 Antonio Nariño Airport and Chimbu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Antonio Nariño Airport", another name for PSO is "Aeropuerto Antonio Nariño".
- Because of Antonio Nariño Airport's relatively low elevation of 6 feet, planes can take off or land at Antonio Nariño 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 furthest airport from Antonio Nariño Airport (PSO) is Sultan Thaha Airport (DJB), which is nearly antipodal to Antonio Nariño Airport (meaning Antonio Nariño Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sultan Thaha Airport), and is located 12,370 miles (19,908 kilometers) away in Jambi, Indonesia.
