Nonstop flight route between Dabolim, Goa, India and Rumjatar, Nepal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Goa International Airport (GOI), Dabolim, Goa, India and Rumjatar Airport (RUM), Rumjatar, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,160 miles (or 1,866 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 Goa International Airport and Rumjatar Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• In addition to being known as "Goa International Airport", another name for GOI is "Dabolim AirportAeroporto de Dabolim".
• Because of Goa International Airport's relatively low elevation of 184 feet, planes can take off or land at Goa 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.
• Goa International Airport (GOI) currently has only 1 runway.
• There has been a demand in local political circles for the restoration of Dabolim's civilian status by relocating the Indian Navy' air station to the proposed Karwar airfield in the new INS Kadamba naval base at Karwar, 70 kilometres south of Dabolim in the adjoining state of Karnataka.

• 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.
