Nonstop flight route between Zhob, Pakistan and Bangkok, Thailand:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Zhob Airport (PZH), Zhob, Pakistan and Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK), Bangkok, Thailand would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,327 miles (or 3,744 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 Zhob Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Zhob Airport (PZH):

• The closest airport to Zhob Airport (PZH) is Dera Ismail Khan Airport (DSK), which is located 92 miles (149 kilometers) ENE of PZH.
• Because of Zhob Airport's high elevation of 4,728 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PZH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PZH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Zhob Airport (PZH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Zhob Airport (meaning Zhob Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,139 miles (19,536 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• Zhob Airport (PZH) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK):

• Suvarnabhumi Airport's main terminal roof is designed with structural elements and bays placed in a cantilevered, wavelike form to appear to "float" over the concourse beneath.
• A further delay was caused by the discovery that the airport had been built over an old graveyard, and superstitious construction workers claimed to have seen ghosts there.
• Suvarnabhumi was officially opened for limited domestic flight service on 15 September 2006, and opened for most domestic and all international commercial flights on 28 September 2006.
• Months into its opening, issues such as congestion, construction quality, signage, provision of facilities, and soil subsidence continued to plague the project, prompting calls to reopen Don Mueang to allow for repairs to be done.
• Because of Suvarnabhumi Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Suvarnabhumi 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 8,400 acres plot of land occupied by the airport was purchased in 1973, but the student-led protests on 14 October that year led the overthrow of the military government of Prime Minister Thanom Kittikachorn and the project was shelved.
• In addition to being known as "Suvarnabhumi Airport", other names for NBK include "ท่าอากาศยานสุวรรณภูมิ" and "BKK".
• Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Suvarnabhumi Airport (NBK) is Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), which is nearly antipodal to Suvarnabhumi Airport (meaning Suvarnabhumi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Jorge Chávez International Airport), and is located 12,252 miles (19,718 kilometers) away in Callao (near Lima), Peru.
