About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Gilgit Airport (GIL), Gilgit, Pakistan and Tampa Padang Airport (MJU), Mamuju, West Sulawesi, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,919 miles (or 6,308 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 Gilgit Airport and Tampa Padang 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 Gilgit Airport and Tampa Padang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Gilgit Airport (GIL):
- Gilgit Airport (GIL) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Gilgit Airport's high elevation of 4,796 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at GIL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make GIL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Gilgit Airport (GIL) is Chilas Airport (CHB), which is located 37 miles (59 kilometers) SSW of GIL.
- The furthest airport from Gilgit Airport (GIL) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,793 miles (18,979 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.

- The furthest airport from Tampa Padang Airport (MJU) is Boa Vista-Atlas Brasil Cantanhede International Airport (BVB), which is nearly antipodal to Tampa Padang Airport (meaning Tampa Padang Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Boa Vista-Atlas Brasil Cantanhede International Airport), and is located 12,411 miles (19,973 kilometers) away in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil.
- Because of Tampa Padang Airport's relatively low elevation of 7 feet, planes can take off or land at Tampa Padang 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.
