Nonstop flight route between Jiwani, Pakistan and Mazari Sharif, Afghanistan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Jiwani (JIW), Jiwani, Pakistan and Mazar-e Sharif International Airpوort (MZR), Mazari Sharif, Afghanistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 865 miles (or 1,392 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 Jiwani and Mazar-e Sharif International Airpوort, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
