About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Limbe Airport (VCC), Limbe, Cameroon and Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 132 miles (or 212 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 Limbe Airport and Bafoussam Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Limbe Airport (VCC):
- Because of Limbe Airport's relatively low elevation of 381 feet, planes can take off or land at Limbe 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 Limbe Airport (VCC) is Douala International Airport (DLA), which is located 36 miles (58 kilometers) E of VCC.
- The furthest airport from Limbe Airport (VCC) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Limbe Airport (meaning Limbe Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,330 miles (19,844 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- In addition to being known as "Limbe Airport", another name for VCC is "Limbe Airport (Limbe)".
Facts about Bafoussam Airport (BFX):
- The closest airport to Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Dschang Airport (DSC), which is located 21 miles (33 kilometers) WSW of BFX.
- Bafoussam Airport (BFX) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Bafoussam Airport (BFX) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Bafoussam Airport (meaning Bafoussam Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,199 miles (19,632 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.
- Because of Bafoussam Airport's high elevation of 4,347 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BFX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BFX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
