Nonstop flight route between Delhi, India and Simikot, Nepal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Delhi, India and Simikot Airport (IMK), Simikot, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 300 miles (or 482 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 Indira Gandhi International Airport and Simikot Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• 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.
• Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) has 3 runways.
• The furthest airport from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Indira Gandhi International Airport (meaning Indira Gandhi International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,026 miles (19,354 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• T3 has India's first automated parking management and guidance system in a multi level car park, which comprises 7 levels and a capacity of 4,300 cars.
