Nonstop flight route between Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and Cork, Ireland:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and Cork Airport (ORK), Cork, Ireland would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,186 miles (or 8,346 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 Tijuana International Airport and Cork 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 Tijuana International Airport and Cork Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• In addition to being known as "Tijuana International Airport", another name for TIJ is "General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport".
• The closest airport to Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) is Brown Field Municipal Airport (SDM), which is located only 2 miles (4 kilometers) NNW of TIJ.
• Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) has 2 runways.
• Runway 09/27 runs east-west approximately 300 meters south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
• 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 project consists of a second terminal, located on U.S.
• 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.

Facts about Cork Airport (ORK):
