About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Moosonee Airport (YMO), Moosonee, Ontario, Canada and Mafikeng Airport (MBD), Mmabatho, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,274 miles (or 13,316 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 Moosonee Airport and Mafikeng 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 Moosonee Airport and Mafikeng Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The Moosonee Airport was officially opened in May 1970 and a new terminal building was constructed in July 1991, that houses the airport management office and washrooms.
- The closest airport to Moosonee Airport (YMO) is Fort Albany Airport (YFA), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) NW of YMO.
- Moosonee Airport (YMO) has 2 runways.
- Because of Moosonee Airport's relatively low elevation of 30 feet, planes can take off or land at Moosonee 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.
Facts about Mafikeng Airport (MBD):
- The furthest airport from Mafikeng Airport (MBD) is Kalaupapa Airport (LUP), which is nearly antipodal to Mafikeng Airport (meaning Mafikeng Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kalaupapa Airport), and is located 12,081 miles (19,443 kilometers) away in Kalaupapa, Hawaii, United States.

- In addition to being known as "Mafikeng Airport", another name for MBD is "Mmabatho Airport".
- Mafikeng Airport (MBD) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Mafikeng Airport's high elevation of 4,181 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
