About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Goa International Airport (GOI), Dabolim, Goa, India and Lichinga Airport (VXC), Lichinga, Mozambique would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,297 miles (or 5,305 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 Goa International Airport and Lichinga 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 Goa International Airport and Lichinga Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Goa International Airport (GOI) is Belgaum Airport (IXG), which is located 62 miles (100 kilometers) ENE of GOI.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, the Navy's title to Dabolim Airport land has been questioned by a member of parliament of Goa in relation to the plan to relocate the civil enclave to the Mopa civilian airport on the grounds that it is the state government of Goa which authorises land transfers in its jurisdiction.
