About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Zhob Airport (PZH), Zhob, Pakistan and Ikerasaarsuk Heliport (QRY), Ikerasaarsuk, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,969 miles (or 7,997 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 Zhob Airport and Ikerasaarsuk Heliport, 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 Zhob Airport and Ikerasaarsuk Heliport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Zhob Airport (PZH) is Dera Ismail Khan Airport (DSK), which is located 92 miles (149 kilometers) ENE of PZH.
- Zhob Airport (PZH) currently has only 1 runway.
- 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.
Facts about Ikerasaarsuk Heliport (QRY):
- Because of Ikerasaarsuk Heliport's relatively low elevation of 165 feet, planes can take off or land at Ikerasaarsuk Heliport 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.
