About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Paro International Airport (PBH), Paro, Bhutan and Tambacounda Airport (TUD), Tambacounda, Senegal would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,558 miles (or 10,555 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 Tambacounda 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 Paro International Airport and Tambacounda Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Paro International Airport (PBH):

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Paro International Airport (PBH) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In 2002, the airport handled 37,200 passengers and 91,000 tonnes of cargo.

Facts about Tambacounda Airport (TUD):

  • Tambacounda Airport (TUD) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Tambacounda Airport's relatively low elevation of 161 feet, planes can take off or land at Tambacounda 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.
  • The closest airport to Tambacounda Airport (TUD) is Simenti Airport (SMY), which is located 53 miles (86 kilometers) SSE of TUD.
