About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Delhi, India and Royal Air Force Station Gatow (GWW), Berlin, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,601 miles (or 5,796 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 Indira Gandhi International Airport and Royal Air Force Station Gatow, 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 Indira Gandhi International Airport and Royal Air Force Station Gatow. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • Opened in 2010, Terminal 3, a state-of-the-art and integrated future terminal, is the 24th largest building in the world and 8th largest passenger terminal.

  • Terminal 3 will form the first phase of the airport expansion in which a 'U' shaped building will be developed in a modular manner.
  • Because of Indira Gandhi International Airport's relatively low elevation of 777 feet, planes can take off or land at Indira Gandhi 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.
