About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and Bisbee Douglas International Airport (DUG), Bisbee/Douglas, Arizona, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 438 miles (or 705 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 Tijuana International Airport and Bisbee Douglas International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Tijuana International Airport (TIJ):
- Tijuana International Airport, sometimes referred to as General Abelardo L.
- Because of Tijuana International Airport's relatively low elevation of 489 feet, planes can take off or land at Tijuana International 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 airport opened in 1958, replacing Tijuana's former airport, then located on today's Aguacaliente Boulevard.
- Runway 09/27 runs east-west approximately 300 meters south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
- From 2011 to 2012, the airport's Terminal 1 underwent major renovations at Concourse A and B, including new customs and international arrivals facilities, construction of a new bus terminal, and other exterior renovations.
- The original terminal was then assigned as an air base for the Mexican Armed Forces, and it is now simply known as the aeropuerto viejo, or old airport.
