## Where it sits

0.5°S, 90.3°W puts GPS in the southern hemisphere, 50 km from the equator and 9,957 km from the South pole.

Of the 661 airports on this site it is the **518th** most northerly, which makes it the 144th most southerly.

## Straight through the middle

Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 0.5°N, 89.7°E. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Mattala Rajapaksa (HRI) in Sri Lanka, still 1,154 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.

## Where these facts come from

The profile is looked up, not written from memory: type, runways, elevation and the official website from [OurAirports](https://ourairports.com/data/) (public domain); opening year, namesake, operator and passenger count from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/) (CC0); the city centre from [GeoNames](https://www.geonames.org/) (CC BY 4.0). Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates.

What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
