About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kigali International Airport (KGL), Kigali, Rwanda and Zhob Airport (PZH), Zhob, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,457 miles (or 5,564 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 Kigali International Airport and Zhob 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 Kigali International Airport and Zhob Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kigali International Airport (KGL):
- Kigali International Airport, formerly known as Gregoire Kayibanda International Airport, but sometimes referred to as Kanombe International Airport, is the primary airport serving Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
- Because of Kigali International Airport's high elevation of 4,891 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KGL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KGL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- There are three terminals at Kigali.
- Kigali International Airport (KGL) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Kigali International Airport (KGL) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,920 miles (19,183 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.

- There are plans to replace the current airport with a new one located south of Kigali on the south side of the Nyabarongo River in Bugesera.
Facts about Zhob Airport (PZH):
- Zhob Airport (PZH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Zhob Airport's high elevation of 4,728 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PZH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PZH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
