Nonstop flight route between Yambol (Jambol), Bulgaria and Quetta, Pakistan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bezmer Air Base (JAM), Yambol (Jambol), Bulgaria and Quetta International Airport (UET), Quetta, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,385 miles (or 3,838 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 Bezmer Air Base and Quetta International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• The closest airport to Bezmer Air Base (JAM) is Stara Zagora Airport (SZR), which is located 36 miles (58 kilometers) W of JAM.
• Bezmer Air Base (JAM) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Bezmer Air Base's relatively low elevation of 509 feet, planes can take off or land at Bezmer 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 furthest airport from Bezmer Air Base (JAM) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,287 miles (18,164 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
• In addition to being known as "Bezmer Air Base", another name for JAM is "LBIA".

Facts about Quetta International Airport (UET):

• The closest airport to Quetta International Airport (UET) is Kabul International Airport (KDH), which is located 109 miles (175 kilometers) NW of UET.

• Because of Quetta International Airport's high elevation of 5,267 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at UET. Combined with a high temperature, this could make UET a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The airport like many airports in pre-independence days were mainly a small airstrip offering air operations on behalf of the British Empire.
