About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mulatupo Airport (MPP), Mulatupo, Panamá and Wonderboom Airport (PRY), Pretoria, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,475 miles (or 12,030 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 Mulatupo Airport and Wonderboom 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 Mulatupo Airport and Wonderboom Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Mulatupo Airport's relatively low elevation of 105 feet, planes can take off or land at Mulatupo 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.
