Pope Francis will fly over 32,000
kilometres during his Apostolic Journey to Indonesia, Papua New
Guinea, Timor-leste and Singapore in September, which the
Vatican released the itinerary of on Friday.
Furthermore, he will spend 44 hours flying during the September

The tally for the kilometres the pope will travel does not
include the journeys he will make on road within the four
countries.
"Departing from Rome on 2 September, Pope Francis will first
make his way to Indonsesia, landing in the capital, Jakarta,"
the Vatican said about Francis's 45th Apostolic Journey.
"Then, on 6 September, he will travel to Port Moresby to greet
the faithful of the Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea,
where he will remain until 9 September.
"From there he will fly to Dili, the capital city of Timore
Leste.
"Then, from Dili, Pope Francis will travel to Singapore for the
final leg of his journey, from 11 to 13 of September, on which
day he will return home, back to Rome".
