Nonstop flight route between Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines and Zahedan, Iran:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Dipolog Airport (DPL), Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, Philippines and Zahedan Airport (ZAH), Zahedan, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,272 miles (or 6,876 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 Dipolog Airport and Zahedan 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 Dipolog Airport and Zahedan Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The furthest airport from Dipolog Airport (DPL) is Piloto Osvaldo Marques Dias Airport (AFL), which is nearly antipodal to Dipolog Airport (meaning Dipolog Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Piloto Osvaldo Marques Dias Airport), and is located 12,341 miles (19,862 kilometers) away in Alta Floresta, Brazil.
• Dipolog Airport handled 165,163 passengers last year.
