Where it sits
9.4°S, 147.2°E puts POM in the southern hemisphere, 1,050 km from the equator and 8,957 km from the South pole.
Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 555th most northerly, which makes it the 107th most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 9.4°N, 32.8°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Pinto Martins (FOR) in Brazil, still 1,602 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Cairns (CNS), 842 km away in a straight line. Nothing else on this site is within 100 km.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
