About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport (TYL), Talara, Peru and Mount Hotham Airport (MHU), Mount Hotham, Victoria, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,192 miles (or 13,184 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 Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport and Mount Hotham 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 Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport and Mount Hotham Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport", another name for TYL is "Aeropuerto Capitán FAP Víctor Montes Arias".
- Because of Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport's relatively low elevation of 282 feet, planes can take off or land at Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias 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 furthest airport from Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport (TYL) is Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), which is nearly antipodal to Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport (meaning Cap. FAP Victor Montes Arias Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kualanamu International Airport), and is located 12,371 miles (19,910 kilometers) away in Medan, Indonesia.

- Because of Mount Hotham Airport's high elevation of 4,260 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MHU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MHU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- With massive Qantas cutbacks announced early 2014, Qantaslink will no longer serve Mt Hotham airport, meaning no more scheduled services.
