About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW), Saltillo, Mexico and Powell River Airport (YPW), Powell River, British Columbia, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,097 miles (or 3,375 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 Plan de Guadalupe International Airport and Powell River Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW):
- Plan de Guadalupe International Airport (SLW) has 2 runways.
- This airport receives few flights a day due to its proximity to Monterrey's General Mariano Escobedo International Airport and Del Norte International Airport.
- 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.
- In addition to being known as "Plan de Guadalupe International Airport", another name for SLW is "Aeropuerto Internacional Plan de Guadalupe".
- On July 6, 2008, USA Jet Airlines flight 199, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-15, crashed at 2:15 a.m.
