About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sde Dov Airport (SDV), Tel Aviv, Israel and Makabana Airport (KMK), Makabana, Republic of the Congo would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,857 miles (or 4,598 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 Makabana 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 Makabana Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Sde Dov Airport (SDV):
- Sde Dov Airport (SDV) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Sde Dov Airport", another name for SDV is "שדה דב مطار سدي دوف".
- When Sde Dov does close, its military terminal would be relocated to the Palmachim Airbase and civilian activities would be relocated to Ben Gurion Airport.
- As the new residential area suffered from aircraft noise, residents joined in the demand that the airport be relocated.
- Because of Sde Dov Airport's relatively low elevation of 42 feet, planes can take off or land at Sde Dov 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 issue remained unresolved until late 2006 when it was announced that the airport would be vacated to make way for residential redevelopment.
