About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Stephenville Airport (YJT), Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and Bafoussam Airport (BFX), Bafoussam, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,973 miles (or 8,003 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 Stephenville Airport and Bafoussam 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 Stephenville Airport and Bafoussam Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Stephenville Airport (YJT):
- The mandate of the base was to maintain a tanker alert force and its capability to meet and refuel Strategic Air Command jet bombers en route to targets.
- On April 23, 2014, Porter Airlines announced it would operate a seasonal summer service to Halifax Stanfield International Airport between June 28 and August 31, 2014.
- Because of Stephenville Airport's relatively low elevation of 81 feet, planes can take off or land at Stephenville 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 airport is now owned and operated by the local Airport Authority, the Stephenville Airport Corporation Inc.
- The closest airport to Stephenville Airport (YJT) is Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF), which is located 70 miles (112 kilometers) NE of YJT.
- The furthest airport from Stephenville Airport (YJT) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 11,479 miles (18,474 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.
- Stephenville Airport (YJT) has 2 runways.
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.
- 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.
- Bafoussam Airport (BFX) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
