About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW), Saltillo, Mexico and Kowanyama Airport (KWM), Kowanyama, Queensland, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,356 miles (or 13,448 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 Plan de Guadalupe International Airport and Kowanyama 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 Plan de Guadalupe International Airport and Kowanyama Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW):

  • In addition to being known as "Plan de Guadalupe International Airport", another name for SLW is "Aeropuerto Internacional Plan de Guadalupe".
  • Because of Plan de Guadalupe International Airport's high elevation of 4,778 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SLW. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SLW a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW) has 2 runways.
  • The furthest airport from Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,359 miles (18,281 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
  • The closest airport to Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW) is General Mariano Escobedo International Airport (MTY), which is located 54 miles (86 kilometers) ENE of SLW.
  • The international category was given back in 1987, when the runway was expanded to receive aircraft such as the Boeing 757, and the new terminal was opened with four boarding gates, a modern ticketing area, customs, migration, baggage claim areas, and a cafeteria.
  • The airport has a VIP Aeromar's lounge, the Barra Diamante open to all passengers of the airline.
