About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU), Curuzú Cuatiá, Corrientes, Argentina and Wonderboom Airport (PRY), Pretoria, South Africa would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,149 miles (or 8,287 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 Curuzú Cuatiá 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 Curuzú Cuatiá Airport and Wonderboom Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU):
- Because of Curuzú Cuatiá Airport's relatively low elevation of 229 feet, planes can take off or land at Curuzú Cuatiá 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.
- Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU) is Mercedes Airport (MDX), which is located 39 miles (62 kilometers) N of UZU.
- The furthest airport from Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (UZU) is Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport (HSN), which is nearly antipodal to Curuzú Cuatiá Airport (meaning Curuzú Cuatiá Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport), and is located 12,413 miles (19,977 kilometers) away in Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China.

- Airport management passed to the Greater Pretoria Metropolitan Council in December 1994.
- Because of Wonderboom Airport's high elevation of 4,095 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PRY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PRY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Wonderboom Airport (PRY) has 2 runways.
