About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport (KBU), Kotabaru, Kalimantan, Indonesia and Mbala Airport (MMQ), Mbala, Northern Province, Zambia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,831 miles (or 9,384 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 Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport and Mbala 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 Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport and Mbala Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • Because of Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport's relatively low elevation of 4 feet, planes can take off or land at Gusti Syamsir Alam 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.
  • Gusti Syamsir Alam Airport (KBU) currently has only 1 runway.
