About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bahrain International Airport (BAH), Al Muharraq, Bahrain and Southdowns Airport (KIW), Kitwe, Zambia would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,100 miles (or 4,988 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 Bahrain International Airport and Southdowns 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 Bahrain International Airport and Southdowns Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bahrain International Airport (BAH):

  • Two new terminals will be opened in the next four years as part of the expansion.
  • In addition to being known as "Bahrain International Airport", other names for BAH include "مطار البحرين الدولي" and "Maṭār al-Baḥrayn al-dwalī".
  • Bahrain International Airport handled 7,793,527 passengers last year.
  • Bahrain International Airport (BAH) has 2 runways.
  • The closest airport to Bahrain International Airport (BAH) is King Abdulaziz Air Base (DHA), which is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) W of BAH.
  • Because of Bahrain International Airport's relatively low elevation of 6 feet, planes can take off or land at Bahrain International 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 Bahrain International Airport (BAH) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is nearly antipodal to Bahrain International Airport (meaning Bahrain International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Totegegie Airport), and is located 12,026 miles (19,355 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
  • A significant portion of passengers served by the airport are Saudis and Western expats working in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Facts about Southdowns Airport (KIW):

  • Southdowns Airport (KIW) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Southdowns Airport (KIW) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is located 11,920 miles (19,184 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
  • Because of Southdowns Airport's high elevation of 4,145 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KIW. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KIW a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • The closest airport to Southdowns Airport (KIW) is Kasompe Airport (CGJ), which is located 28 miles (46 kilometers) NW of KIW.
