Nonstop flight route between Khuzdar, Pakistan and Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Khuzdar Airport (KDD), Khuzdar, Pakistan and Hatfield Aerodrome (HTF), Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,763 miles (or 6,057 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 Khuzdar Airport and Hatfield Aerodrome, 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 Khuzdar Airport and Hatfield Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Khuzdar Airport (KDD):

• The closest airport to Khuzdar Airport (KDD) is Moenjodaro Airport (MJD), which is located 97 miles (157 kilometers) ESE of KDD.
• Because of Khuzdar Airport's high elevation of 4,012 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KDD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KDD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Khuzdar Airport (KDD) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Khuzdar Airport (meaning Khuzdar Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,192 miles (19,620 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• Khuzdar Airport (KDD) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Hatfield Aerodrome (HTF):

• Hatfield Aerodrome (HTF) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Hatfield Aerodrome (HTF) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,860 miles (19,086 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
• The airfield closed but was later used as a film set for Saving Private Ryan and the television series Band of Brothers.
• The 146 first flew in 1981 and production of some components, final assembly and flight testing of the first two series of the aircraft was based at Hatfield during the early and mid 1980s.
• Because of Hatfield Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 254 feet, planes can take off or land at Hatfield Aerodrome 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.
• A hard runway was laid in 1947.
• The closest airport to Hatfield Aerodrome (HTF) is London Luton Airport (LTN), which is located only 9 miles (15 kilometers) NNW of HTF.
