About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS), Jos, Nigeria and Blida Airport (QLD), Blida, Algeria would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,894 miles (or 3,049 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 Yakubu Gowon Airport and Blida Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- The closest airport to Yakubu Gowon Airport (JOS) is Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (ABV), which is located 118 miles (190 kilometers) WSW of JOS.
- Because of Yakubu Gowon Airport's high elevation of 4,232 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at JOS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make JOS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
