About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Melbourne Airport (MEL), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and Chachapoyas Airport (CHH), Chachapoyas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,348 miles (or 13,434 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 Melbourne Airport and Chachapoyas 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 Melbourne Airport and Chachapoyas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Melbourne Airport (MEL):
- Expansion of carparks has also continued with a $40 million project commenced in 2004, doubling the size of the short term carpark with the addition of 2,500 spaces over six levels, along with 1,200 new spaces added to the 5,000 already available in the long term carpark.
- On 1 July 1970, Melbourne Airport was opened to international operations by Prime Minister John Gorton, ending Essendon's near 2-decade run as Melbourne International Airport.
- In addition to being known as "Melbourne Airport", another name for MEL is "Tullamarine Airport".
- Melbourne Airport handled 2,998,000 passengers last year.
- Because of Melbourne Airport's relatively low elevation of 434 feet, planes can take off or land at Melbourne 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.
- Jetstar Airways confirmed its involvement in discussions with Melbourne Airport regarding the expansion of terminal facilities to accommodate for the growth of domestic low-cost services.
- The closest airport to Melbourne Airport (MEL) is Essendon Airport (MEB), which is located only 5 miles (8 kilometers) SE of MEL.
- The furthest airport from Melbourne Airport (MEL) is Flores Airport (FLW), which is nearly antipodal to Melbourne Airport (meaning Melbourne Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Flores Airport), and is located 12,187 miles (19,613 kilometers) away in Flores Island, Azores, Portugal.
- In May 1959 it was announced that a new airport would be built at Tullamarine, with Prime Minister Robert Menzies announcing on 27 November 1962 a five-year plan to provide Melbourne with a A$45 million "jetport" by 1967.
- Melbourne Airport (MEL) has 2 runways.
- Opened with Melbourne Airport in 1970 for Trans Australia Airlines, the terminal passed to Qantas in 1992 when they acquired the airline.
Facts about Chachapoyas Airport (CHH):
- The closest airport to Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Mayor General FAP Armando Revoredo Iglesias (CJA), which is located 78 miles (126 kilometers) SW of CHH.
- The furthest airport from Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) is Sultan Ismail Petra Airport (KBR), which is nearly antipodal to Chachapoyas Airport (meaning Chachapoyas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sultan Ismail Petra Airport), and is located 12,426 miles (19,998 kilometers) away in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia.
- Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Chachapoyas Airport's high elevation of 8,333 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CHH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CHH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
