About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Málaga Airport (AGP), Málaga, Spain and Gilgit Airport (GIL), Gilgit, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,254 miles (or 6,846 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 Málaga Airport and Gilgit 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 Málaga Airport and Gilgit Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Because of Málaga Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Málaga 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 Málaga Airport (AGP) is Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV), which is nearly antipodal to Málaga Airport (meaning Málaga Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Coromandel Aerodrome), and is located 12,429 miles (20,002 kilometers) away in Coromandel, New Zealand.
- Development work was completed on the terminal in 2008.
- Málaga Airport handled 12,922,403 passengers last year.
