Nonstop flight route between Khuzdar, Pakistan and Mangalore, India:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Khuzdar Airport (KDD), Khuzdar, Pakistan and Mangalore Airport (IXE), Mangalore, India would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,155 miles (or 1,858 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 relatively short distance between Khuzdar Airport and Mangalore Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Khuzdar Airport's high elevation of 4,012 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KDD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KDD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Khuzdar Airport (KDD) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Khuzdar Airport (meaning Khuzdar Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,192 miles (19,620 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• Khuzdar Airport (KDD) currently has only 1 runway.
