About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Jamnagar Airport (JGA), Jamnagar, Gujurat, India and Hinton/Jasper-Hinton Airport (YJP), Hinton, Alberta, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,180 miles (or 11,555 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 Jamnagar Airport and Hinton/Jasper-Hinton 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 Jamnagar Airport and Hinton/Jasper-Hinton Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The airport is connected to the city by a four lane highway and is about 8 kilometers from the city.
- In addition to being known as "Jamnagar Airport", another name for JGA is "જામનગર વિમાનમથક".
- Because of Jamnagar Airport's relatively low elevation of 69 feet, planes can take off or land at Jamnagar 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.
- In 2012, the government announced plans for the expansion of the terminal along with several other airports of the state.
