About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Agri Airport (AJI), Ağrı, Turkey and Bikaner Air Force Base (BKB), Bikaner, India would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,895 miles (or 3,050 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 Agri Airport and Bikaner Air Force Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- The furthest airport from Agri Airport (AJI) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,285 miles (18,162 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
- Because of Agri Airport's high elevation of 5,462 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AJI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AJI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In addition to being known as "Agri Airport", another name for AJI is "Ağrı Havalimanı (Turkish)".

- Because of Bikaner Air Force Base's relatively low elevation of 750 feet, planes can take off or land at Bikaner Air Force Base 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.
