Nonstop flight route between San Salvador, El Salvador and Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport (SAL), San Salvador, El Salvador and Santa Ana del Yacuma Airport (SBL), Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,479 miles (or 3,990 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 relatively short distance between Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport and Santa Ana del Yacuma Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
