About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ayapel Airport (AYA), Ayapel, Colombia and Uyuni Joya Andina Airport (UYU), Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,066 miles (or 3,325 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 Ayapel Airport and Uyuni Joya Andina Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- Because of Ayapel Airport's relatively low elevation of 120 feet, planes can take off or land at Ayapel 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 closest airport to Ayapel Airport (AYA) is Caucasia Airport Juan H. White Airport (CAQ), which is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) S of AYA.

- Because of Uyuni Joya Andina Airport's high elevation of 12,972 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at UYU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make UYU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Uyuni Joya Andina Airport (UYU) is Juana Azurduy de Padilla International Airport (SRE), which is located 142 miles (228 kilometers) NE of UYU.
