About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Sde Dov Airport (SDV), Tel Aviv, Israel and Kariba Airport (KAB), Kariba, Zimbabwe would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,383 miles (or 5,444 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 Sde Dov Airport and Kariba 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 Sde Dov Airport and Kariba Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Sde Dov Airport (SDV):

  • In addition to being known as "Sde Dov Airport", another name for SDV is "שדה דב مطار سدي دوف".
  • Sde Dov Airport (SDV) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In 1937, the mayor of Tel Aviv Israel Rokach asked the British mandate authorities for permission to create an airport in Palestine, promising to solve the transportation problem of Jews during the Arab revolt of 1936–39 when travelling around the region by ground was difficult and dangerous.
  • The early 1990s saw a rapid rise in land values in the Tel Aviv area following the massive immigration wave from the ex-Soviet Union and the rapid economic growth fueled by the peace prospects in 1993–1996 and subsequent hi-tech boom.

  • The furthest airport from Sde Dov Airport (SDV) is Rurutu Airport (RUR), which is located 11,669 miles (18,780 kilometers) away in Rurutu, French Polynesia.
