About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Khuzdar Airport (KDD), Khuzdar, Pakistan and Kumasi Airport (KMS), Kumasi, Ghana would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,674 miles (or 7,522 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 Kumasi 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 Khuzdar Airport and Kumasi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Khuzdar Airport (KDD):
- 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.
- 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.
Facts about Kumasi Airport (KMS):
- Currently, upgrading work on the existing runway and some related works are in progress.
- Kumasi Airport is an airport serving Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region in Ghana.

- Because of Kumasi Airport's relatively low elevation of 942 feet, planes can take off or land at Kumasi 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.
