About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Relizane Airport (QZN), Relizane, Algeria and Kigali International Airport (KGL), Kigali, Rwanda would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,227 miles (or 5,193 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 Relizane Airport and Kigali International 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 Relizane Airport and Kigali International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Relizane Airport (QZN):

  • Because of Relizane Airport's relatively low elevation of 282 feet, planes can take off or land at Relizane 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 furthest airport from Relizane Airport (QZN) is Gisborne Airport (GIS), which is nearly antipodal to Relizane Airport (meaning Relizane Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Gisborne Airport), and is located 12,188 miles (19,615 kilometers) away in Gisborne, New Zealand.
  • The closest airport to Relizane Airport (QZN) is Ghriss Airport (MUW), which is located 46 miles (74 kilometers) SW of QZN.
  • Relizane Airport (QZN) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Kigali International Airport (KGL):

  • This the former passenger terminal
  • Kigali International Airport (KGL) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Kigali International Airport (KGL) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,920 miles (19,183 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
  • In addition, Akagera Aviation and the Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority have their offices at the airport.
  • The closest airport to Kigali International Airport (KGL) is Kirundo Airport (KRE), which is located 40 miles (65 kilometers) S of KGL.
  • Because of Kigali International Airport's high elevation of 4,891 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KGL. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KGL a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
