About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kitale Airport (KTL), Kitale, Kenya and Haifa Airport (HFA), Haifa, Israel would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,200 miles (or 3,540 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 Kitale Airport and Haifa Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- Because of Haifa Airport's relatively low elevation of 28 feet, planes can take off or land at Haifa 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.
- In addition to being known as "Haifa Airport", another name for HFA is "נְמַל הַתְּעוּפָה חֵיפָה".
- These expected services never really took off however, and it wasn't until 1996, and the start of Israir flights, that the airport grew.
