About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Yaoundé Airport (YAO), Yaoundé, Cameroon and Mitiga International Airport (MJI), Tripoli, Libya would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,011 miles (or 3,237 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 Yaoundé Airport and Mitiga International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Yaoundé Airport (YAO):

  • The furthest airport from Yaoundé Airport (YAO) is Canton Island Airport (CIS), which is nearly antipodal to Yaoundé Airport (meaning Yaoundé Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Canton Island Airport), and is located 12,202 miles (19,638 kilometers) away in Canton Island, Kiribati.

Facts about Mitiga International Airport (MJI):

  • Because of Mitiga International Airport's relatively low elevation of 36 feet, planes can take off or land at Mitiga International 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.

  • On 25 October 2011, Google Earth released mutlispectral imagery from Geo Eye taken on 28 August which showed the airfield as well as the highly capable MiG-25 aircraft without any visible damage.
  • In addition to being known as "Mitiga International Airport", another name for MJI is "مطار امعيتيقة الدولي".
  • The fourteen-hour 9,300-kilometre round trip to Libya required numerous in-air refuelings, because countries closer to Libya – Spain, Italy, France, and Greece – had refused American planes permission to fly over or from bases in their countries.
  • The furthest airport from Mitiga International Airport (MJI) is Rarotonga International Airport (RAR), which is located 11,524 miles (18,546 kilometers) away in Avarua, Cook Islands.
