About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase (JAG), Jacobabad, Pakistan and Chimbu Airport (CMU), Kundiawa, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,605 miles (or 9,020 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 Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase and Chimbu 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 Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase and Chimbu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase (JAG):
- The closest airport to Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase (JAG) is Sukkur Airport (SKZ), which is located 44 miles (71 kilometers) SSE of JAG.
- Because of Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase's relatively low elevation of 185 feet, planes can take off or land at Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase 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 Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase (JAG) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase (meaning Jacobabad Airbase / Airbase is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,285 miles (19,771 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
