About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Diapaga Airport (DIP), Diapaga, Burkina Faso and Rumjatar Airport (RUM), Rumjatar, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,522 miles (or 8,886 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 Diapaga Airport and Rumjatar 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 Diapaga Airport and Rumjatar Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Diapaga Airport (DIP) currently has only 1 runway.
 - Because of Diapaga Airport's relatively low elevation of 951 feet, planes can take off or land at Diapaga 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 closest airport to Diapaga Airport (DIP) is Kantchari Airport (XKA), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) NW of DIP.
 - In addition to being known as "Diapaga Airport", another name for DIP is "Diapaga Airport (Diapaga)".

Facts about Rumjatar Airport (RUM):
- The closest airport to Rumjatar Airport (RUM) is Lamidanda Airport (LDN), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) ESE of RUM.
 - Because of Rumjatar Airport's high elevation of 4,500 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at RUM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make RUM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
 - The furthest airport from Rumjatar Airport (RUM) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,456 miles (18,437 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
