About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Tahoua Airport (THZ), Tahoua, Niger would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,640 miles (or 4,249 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 Tahoua 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 Tahoua Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL):
- The closest airport to Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) is Berlin Tempelhof Airport (THF), which is located only 8 miles (12 kilometers) SE of TXL.
- Soon after the outbreak of World War I, on 20 August 1914, the area was dedicated to military training of aerial reconnaissance crews.
- Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) has 2 runways.
- On 1 April 1973, Air France re-introduced a daily non-stop Orly–Tegel rotation to complement the daily service via Cologne.
- The move from Tempelhof to Tegel resulted in all of Pan Am's Berlin operations being concentrated at the latter.
- British Dakota and Hastings aircraft carrying essential goods and raw materials began using Tegel on a regular basis from 17 November 1948.
- 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.
- 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.
- In addition to being known as "Berlin Tegel Airport", another name for TXL is "Flughafen Berlin-Tegel".
- 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.
- Berlin Tegel Airport handled 19,591,849 passengers last year.
- From 1983, British Airways began updating its Berlin fleet.
