About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Châlons Vatry Airport (XCR), Vatry, France and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,225 miles (or 10,018 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 Châlons Vatry Airport and Apolo 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 Châlons Vatry Airport and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The airport is 586 feet above mean sea level.
- Construction began in 1953, and Vatry Air Base was designed for 50 fighters with three large hangars constructed.
- Châlons Vatry Airport (XCR) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Châlons Vatry Airport (XCR) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Châlons Vatry Airport (meaning Châlons Vatry Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,092 miles (19,461 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
- Because of Châlons Vatry Airport's relatively low elevation of 586 feet, planes can take off or land at Châlons Vatry 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.
