About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Plovdiv Airport (PDV), Plovdiv, Bulgaria and Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL), Juliaca, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,183 miles (or 11,560 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 Plovdiv Airport and Inca Manco Cápac International 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 Plovdiv Airport and Inca Manco Cápac International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Plovdiv Airport (PDV):
- The airport was the setting for the climax of the 2012 American film The Expendables 2.
- On 13 September 1965 a new terminal building was opened, and next year an enlarged tarmac was put into use in time for winter season charter traffic.
- Because of Plovdiv Airport's relatively low elevation of 597 feet, planes can take off or land at Plovdiv 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.
- Domestic scheduled flights were terminated in 1980, but winter charter flights continue to increase which again leads to a relocation of ground facilities as technical buildings, power supply facilities, air traffic control tower and administrative facilities.
- The closest airport to Plovdiv Airport (PDV) is Haskovo Malevo Airport (HKV), which is located 38 miles (61 kilometers) E of PDV.
- Plovdiv Airport (PDV) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Plovdiv Airport", other names for PDV include "Krumovo Airport" and "Летище Пловдив".
- On 18 December 1982 the first aircraft TU-134 arrived, a charter flight from Amsterdam, the beginning of a new era for Plovdiv Airport.

Facts about Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL):
- The furthest airport from Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL) is Chu Lai Airport (VCL), which is nearly antipodal to Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (meaning Inca Manco Cápac International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chu Lai Airport), and is located 12,361 miles (19,893 kilometers) away in Chu Lai, Quang Nam, Vietnam.
- Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Inca Manco Cápac International Airport (JUL) is Rodríguez Ballón International Airport (AQP), which is located 112 miles (181 kilometers) WSW of JUL.
- Because of Inca Manco Cápac International Airport's high elevation of 12,552 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at JUL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make JUL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
