About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Mongo Airport (MVO), Mongo, Chad and Portland International Jetport (PWM), Portland, Maine, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,590 miles (or 8,996 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 Mongo Airport and Portland International Jetport, 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 Mongo Airport and Portland International Jetport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Portland International Jetport (PWM):
- In 1981 Air New England ceased operations and pulled out of the Jetport after 11 years.
- In 1995 a terminal building improvement project was undertaken to add two-second-level boarding gates, as well as additional space for ticketing, operations, departure lounge, concessions, and an international customs facility.
- Because of Portland International Jetport's relatively low elevation of 76 feet, planes can take off or land at Portland International Jetport 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.
- That year regional Air New England began service in Portland, competing with Northeast Airlines intrastate and between Portland and Boston.
- That same year, regional Ransome Airlines, doing business as Delta Connection, began a route between Portland and Boston.
- After Independence Air went bankrupt Portland had no low-cost carrier, causing fares to go up, and passenger numbers to decline.
