About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Paro International Airport (PBH), Paro, Bhutan and Ulanhot Airport (HLH), Ulanhot, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,196 miles (or 3,535 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 Paro International Airport and Ulanhot Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Paro International Airport (PBH):
- Bathpalathang Airport in Bumthang district and Yongphulla Airport in Trashigang District are two other airports in the country.
- Because of Paro International Airport's high elevation of 7,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PBH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PBH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- In 2012 it was reported that 181,659 passengers used the airport.
- Paro International Airport (PBH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Paro International Airport (PBH) is Cooch Behar Airport (COH), which is located 65 miles (104 kilometers) SSE of PBH.
