About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Shiraz International Airport (SYZ), Shiraz, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,543 miles (or 4,092 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Shiraz International 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Shiraz International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL):
- Because of Berlin Tegel Airport's relatively low elevation of 122 feet, planes can take off or land at Berlin Tegel 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.
- In addition to being known as "Berlin Tegel Airport", another name for TXL is "Flughafen Berlin-Tegel".
- The furthest airport from Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,685 miles (18,805 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

- Berlin Tegel Airport handled 19,591,849 passengers last year.
- Following the move to Tegel, Air France initially used Lockheed Super Constellation piston equipment on all Berlin flights.
- The move from Tempelhof to Tegel resulted in all of Pan Am's Berlin operations being concentrated at the latter.

- From the start of the 1974–75 winter season, Pan Am began operating a series of short- and medium-haul week-end charter flights from Tegel under contract to a leading West German tour operator.
- Following the mid- to late 1960s' introduction by Pan American World Airways and British European Airways of jet aircraft with short-field capabilities that were not payload-restricted on Tempelhof's short runways, Air France experienced a traffic decline on those routes where it competed with Pan Am and BEA, mainly as a result of Tegel's greater distance and poorer accessibility from West Berlin's city centre.
- Pan Am began introducing widebodied aircraft on its Berlin routes in the mid-1980s.
