About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Rajkot Airport (RAJ), Rajkot, India and Gagnoa Airport (GGN), Gagnoa, Côte d'Ivoire would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,214 miles (or 8,391 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 Rajkot Airport and Gagnoa 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 Rajkot Airport and Gagnoa Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Rajkot Airport (RAJ):
- The closest airport to Rajkot Airport (RAJ) is Jamnagar Airport (JGA), which is located 50 miles (81 kilometers) WNW of RAJ.
- However, the airport now suffers from considerable capacity restraints, due to the expansion of the city and because of the residential and commercial buildings which have been built around it - this renders the plan to extend the runway unfeasible.
- Because of Rajkot Airport's relatively low elevation of 441 feet, planes can take off or land at Rajkot 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.
- In addition to being known as "Rajkot Airport", another name for RAJ is "રાજકોટ વિમાનમથક".
- The furthest airport from Rajkot Airport (RAJ) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Rajkot Airport (meaning Rajkot Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,101 miles (19,475 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
