About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Surat Airport (STV), Surat, Gujarat, India and Paro International Airport (PBH), Paro, Bhutan would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,135 miles (or 1,827 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 relatively short distance between Surat Airport and Paro International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Surat Airport (STV):
- The Airport Authority of India announced that the Airport required 864 hectares of land, and the Gujarat government has allocated such land for the development.
- Because of Surat Airport's relatively low elevation of 16 feet, planes can take off or land at Surat 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.
- Until 2007, Surat was the only city in the world with a population of over 4.6 million people without a functioning airport.
- The furthest airport from Surat Airport (STV) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,997 miles (19,308 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
- The closest airport to Surat Airport (STV) is Daman Airport (NMB), which is located 48 miles (77 kilometers) S of STV.
- In addition to being known as "Surat Airport", another name for STV is "સુરત એરપોર્ટ".

Facts about Paro International Airport (PBH):

- The furthest airport from Paro International Airport (PBH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,281 miles (18,155 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
- Because of Paro International Airport's high elevation of 7,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PBH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PBH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Paro International Airport (PBH) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Paro International Airport (PBH) is Cooch Behar Airport (COH), which is located 65 miles (104 kilometers) SSE of PBH.
