About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jodhpur Airport (JDH), Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India and Mzuzu Airport (ZZU), Mzuzu, Malawi would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,696 miles (or 5,947 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 Jodhpur Airport and Mzuzu 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 Jodhpur Airport and Mzuzu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Jodhpur Airport (JDH) is Udaipur Airport (UDR), which is located 125 miles (201 kilometers) SSE of JDH.
- Because of Jodhpur Airport's relatively low elevation of 717 feet, planes can take off or land at Jodhpur 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.
- The furthest airport from Jodhpur Airport (JDH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Jodhpur Airport (meaning Jodhpur Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,272 miles (19,749 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
