About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Gibraltar International Airport (GIB), Gibraltar and Kerman International Airport (KER), Kerman, Iran would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,563 miles (or 5,734 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 Gibraltar International Airport and Kerman International 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 Gibraltar International Airport and Kerman International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Gibraltar International Airport (GIB):
- The closest airport to Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is Ceuta Heliport (JCU), which is located only 18 miles (29 kilometers) S of GIB.
- In addition to being known as "Gibraltar International Airport", another name for GIB is "(North Front Airport)".
- On 3 November 2003, Monarch announced a new route from Gibraltar to Manchester Airport.
- The road across the runway is constraining operations at the airport, especially with the increase in operations since the Córdoba Agreement.
- Because of Gibraltar International Airport's relatively low elevation of 15 feet, planes can take off or land at Gibraltar 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.
- On 14 August 2012, Monarch announced it would launch a new route to Birmingham, operating three times a week.
- Gibraltar International Airport handled 383,013 passengers last year.
- The furthest airport from Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is Whangarei Airport (WRE), which is nearly antipodal to Gibraltar International Airport (meaning Gibraltar International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Whangarei Airport), and is located 12,406 miles (19,965 kilometers) away in Whangarei, New Zealand.

- Because of Kerman International Airport's high elevation of 5,741 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KER. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KER a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
