About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tijuana International Airport (TIJ), Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and Mthatha Airport (UTT), Mthatha, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,432 miles (or 16,789 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 Mthatha 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 Mthatha Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tijuana International Airport (TIJ):

  • In addition to being known as "Tijuana International Airport", another name for TIJ is "General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport".
  • It is operated by Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, a holding group that controls 12 international airports in central and northern Mexico.
  • The airport may be reached from Downtown Tijuana or Zona Rio by local bus.
  • In 2008, authorities from both Mexico and the United States launched Project Smart Border 2010, which expressed the intent to build an alternate U.S.-Mexico terminal.
  • Brown Field Municipal Airport in San Diego, California lies just over one nautical mile north of TIJ, with a similar runway length and orientation.

  • 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.
