About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Cerro Largo International Airport (VCH), Vichadero, Rivera, Uruguay and El Dorado International Airport (BOG), Bogotá, Colombia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,828 miles (or 4,551 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 Cerro Largo International Airport and El Dorado 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 Cerro Largo International Airport and El Dorado International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cerro Largo International Airport (VCH):
- In addition to being known as "Cerro Largo International Airport", another name for VCH is "Aeropuerto Internacional de Cerro Largo".
- The furthest airport from Cerro Largo International Airport (VCH) is Jeongseok / Jungseok Airport (JDG), which is nearly antipodal to Cerro Largo International Airport (meaning Cerro Largo International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Jeongseok / Jungseok Airport), and is located 12,299 miles (19,794 kilometers) away in Jeju province, South Korea.
- Because of Cerro Largo International Airport's relatively low elevation of 488 feet, planes can take off or land at Cerro Largo International 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.
- The closest airport to Cerro Largo International Airport (VCH) is Comandante Gustavo Kraemer International Airport (BGX), which is located 37 miles (60 kilometers) NE of VCH.
Facts about El Dorado International Airport (BOG):
- Operations out of the Bogotá hub allow travelers to easily connect between domestic destinations, from a domestic destination to an international destination, from an international destination to a domestic city, between two international destinations and allows for simpler codeshare connections.
- Due to the high demand for passengers, it has now become apparent to build a new, more modern airport with much more capacity for both commercial and cargo flights.
- In addition to being known as "El Dorado International Airport", another name for BOG is "Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado".
- In 1977, the Military Transport Aviation Command was named after the Colombian aviation pioneer, Honorary Brigadier General Camilo Daza Alvarez.
- The fourth floor held the administrsative offices and its dependencies which accounted through to the fifth floor.
- El Dorado International Airport (BOG) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ), which is nearly antipodal to El Dorado International Airport (meaning El Dorado International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Gunung Batin Airport), and is located 12,394 miles (19,946 kilometers) away in Astraksetra, Indonesia.
- The closest airport to El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Santiago Vila Airport (GIR), which is located 54 miles (86 kilometers) WSW of BOG.
- Because of El Dorado International Airport's high elevation of 8,361 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BOG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BOG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The third milestone of the project began in late November 2009.
