About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Copernicus Airport Wrocław (WRO), Wroclaw, Poland and Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,963 miles (or 11,206 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 Copernicus Airport Wrocław and Andahuaylas 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 Copernicus Airport Wrocław and Andahuaylas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Copernicus Airport Wrocław (WRO):
- On 19 July 2006 the architectural firm JSK was chosen to design a significant airport expansion.
- The airport was built in 1938 for German military purposes before World War II.
- In addition to being known as "Copernicus Airport Wrocław", another name for WRO is "Port Lotniczy Wrocław im. Mikołaja Kopernika".
- Because of Copernicus Airport Wrocław's relatively low elevation of 404 feet, planes can take off or land at Copernicus Airport Wrocław 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.
- Copernicus Airport Wrocław (WRO) currently has only 1 runway.
- Wrocław–Copernicus Airport is an international commercial airport in Wrocław in southwestern Poland.
- The furthest airport from Copernicus Airport Wrocław (WRO) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,637 miles (18,728 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

- Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Ratanakiri Airport (RBE), which is nearly antipodal to Andahuaylas Airport (meaning Andahuaylas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ratanakiri Airport), and is located 12,414 miles (19,979 kilometers) away in Ratanakiri, Cambodia.
