About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Praia International Airport (RAI), Praia, Cape Verde and Srinagar International Airport (SXR), Srinagar, India would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,105 miles (or 9,824 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 Praia International Airport and Srinagar 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 Praia International Airport and Srinagar International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Praia International Airport (RAI):
- The furthest airport from Praia International Airport (RAI) is Bellona/Anua Airport (BNY), which is nearly antipodal to Praia International Airport (meaning Praia International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Bellona/Anua Airport), and is located 12,103 miles (19,477 kilometers) away in Anua, Bellona Island, Solomon Islands.
- The closest airport to Praia International Airport (RAI) is Maio Airport (MMO), which is located 25 miles (40 kilometers) NE of RAI.
- Because of Praia International Airport's relatively low elevation of 230 feet, planes can take off or land at Praia International 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.
- Praia International Airport (RAI) currently has only 1 runway.

- The closest airport to Srinagar International Airport (SXR) is Muzaffarabad Airport (MFG), which is located 76 miles (123 kilometers) WNW of SXR.
- Srinagar International Airport (SXR) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Srinagar International Airport's high elevation of 5,429 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SXR.
