About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tamale Airport (TML), Tamale, Northern Region, Ghana and Bunia Airport (BUX), Bunia, Ituri, Democratic Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,206 miles (or 3,550 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 Tamale Airport and Bunia Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Tamale Airport (TML):
- The Tamale Airport has now been upgraded to the status of an international airport, with all the necessary facilities.
- The furthest airport from Tamale Airport (TML) is Funafuti International Airport (FUN), which is nearly antipodal to Tamale Airport (meaning Tamale Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Funafuti International Airport), and is located 12,365 miles (19,900 kilometers) away in Funafuti, Tuvalu.
- The two contractors were Focal Roads Limited and CONSUL Limited, with BANS Consult as the consultants.
- Tamale Airport (TML) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Tamale Airport's relatively low elevation of 553 feet, planes can take off or land at Tamale 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 closest airport to Tamale Airport (TML) is Zabré Airport (XZA), which is located 112 miles (181 kilometers) N of TML.
Facts about Bunia Airport (BUX):
- The closest airport to Bunia Airport (BUX) is Beni Airport (BNC), which is located 86 miles (138 kilometers) SW of BUX.

- The furthest airport from Bunia Airport (BUX) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,859 miles (19,085 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Bunia Airport's high elevation of 4,045 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BUX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BUX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
