About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Las Flecheras Airport (SFD), San Fernando de Apure, Venezuela and Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT), Grand Junction, Colorado, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,334 miles (or 5,366 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 Las Flecheras Airport and Grand Junction Regional 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 Las Flecheras Airport and Grand Junction Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The furthest airport from Las Flecheras Airport (SFD) is Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport (MLG), which is nearly antipodal to Las Flecheras Airport (meaning Las Flecheras Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Abdul Rachman Saleh Airport), and is located 12,426 miles (19,997 kilometers) away in Malang, East Java, Indonesia.
- Because of Las Flecheras Airport's relatively low elevation of 154 feet, planes can take off or land at Las Flecheras 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.
- Las Flecheras Airport (SFD) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Las Flecheras Airport (SFD) is Calabozo Airport (CLZ), which is located 72 miles (116 kilometers) N of SFD.
