About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Civil Airport Harni (BDQ), Vadodara, India and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,225 miles (or 8,410 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 Civil Airport Harni and Chimbu 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 Civil Airport Harni and Chimbu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Civil Airport Harni (BDQ):
- Because of Civil Airport Harni's relatively low elevation of 127 feet, planes can take off or land at Civil Airport Harni 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.
- To enhance the capacity of the airport as well as to launch international services, it was decided to construct a new Integrated Terminal Building.
- The closest airport to Civil Airport Harni (BDQ) is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD), which is located 64 miles (103 kilometers) NW of BDQ.
- In addition to being known as "Civil Airport Harni", other names for BDQ include "સિવિલ એરપોર્ટ હરની" and "વડોદરા એરપોર્ટ".
- The furthest airport from Civil Airport Harni (BDQ) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Civil Airport Harni (meaning Civil Airport Harni is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,064 miles (19,415 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.

- Chimbu Airport (CMU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Chimbu Airport's high elevation of 4,974 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CMU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CMU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
