About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Paro International Airport (PBH), Paro, Bhutan and Inishmore Aerodrome (IOR), Kilronan, Inishmore, Ireland would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,078 miles (or 8,172 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 Paro International Airport and Inishmore Aerodrome, 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 Paro International Airport and Inishmore Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Paro International Airport (PBH):
- The second international airport project, which was planned for construction at the Gelephu site, was downgraded to a domestic airport project in October 2008.
- Paro International Airport (PBH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The furthest airport from Paro International Airport (PBH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,281 miles (18,155 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
- Druk Air is the national flag carrier airline of Bhutan and has its base at Paro Airport.
- The closest airport to Paro International Airport (PBH) is Cooch Behar Airport (COH), which is located 65 miles (104 kilometers) SSE of PBH.
- 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.
Facts about Inishmore Aerodrome (IOR):
- The closest airport to Inishmore Aerodrome (IOR) is Inishmaan Aerodrome (IIA), which is located only 4 miles (6 kilometers) ESE of IOR.

- In addition to being known as "Inishmore Aerodrome", another name for IOR is "Kilronan Airport".
- Because of Inishmore Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 24 feet, planes can take off or land at Inishmore Aerodrome 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.
