About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ibadan Airport (IBA), Ibadan, Nigeria and Golmud Airport (GOQ), Golmud, Qinghai, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,962 miles (or 9,594 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 Ibadan Airport and Golmud 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 Ibadan Airport and Golmud Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Ibadan Airport (IBA) is Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), which is located 71 miles (113 kilometers) SW of IBA.
- Ibadan Airport (IBA) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Ibadan Airport's relatively low elevation of 725 feet, planes can take off or land at Ibadan 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 furthest airport from Ibadan Airport (IBA) is Funafuti International Airport (FUN), which is nearly antipodal to Ibadan Airport (meaning Ibadan Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Funafuti International Airport), and is located 12,100 miles (19,473 kilometers) away in Funafuti, Tuvalu.
