Nonstop flight route between Doha, Qatar and Žabljak, Montenegro:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD), Doha, Qatar and Žabljak Airport (ZBK), Žabljak, Montenegro would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,195 miles (or 3,533 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 Al-Udeid Air Base and Žabljak Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD):

• Al-Udeid Air Base (IUD) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Al-Udeid Air Base's relatively low elevation of 130 feet, planes can take off or land at Al-Udeid Air Base 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 Administration’s FY2011 military construction request for Qatar was $64.3 million, for Air Force facilities and a National Security Agency warehouse.
• Between 2001 and 2009 the airbase was used by the British Royal Air Force with transport and fast-jet aircraft.
• In addition to being known as "Al-Udeid Air Base", other names for IUD include "قاعدة العديد الجوية" and "XJD".
• Qatar invested over $US1 billion to construct the Al Udeid air base south of Doha during the 1990s.
