About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG), Kunming, Yunnan, China and Kota Airport (KTU), Kota, India would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,691 miles (or 2,722 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 Kunming Changshui International Airport and Kota Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG):
- In addition to being known as "Kunming Changshui International Airport", other names for KMG include "昆明长水国际机场" and "Kūnmíng Chángshuǐ Guójì Jīchǎng".
- The main 548,300 m2 terminal of Changshui Airport is the second largest terminal building in China.
- Because of Kunming Changshui International Airport's high elevation of 6,900 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KMG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KMG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG) has 2 runways.
- Kunming Changshui International Airport is the primary airport serving Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, China.
