Nonstop flight route between Srinagar, India and Tegel / Berlin, Germany:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Srinagar International Airport (SXR), Srinagar, India and Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,234 miles (or 5,205 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 Srinagar International Airport and Berlin Tegel 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 Srinagar International Airport and Berlin Tegel Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Combined with a high temperature, this could make SXR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Srinagar International Airport (SXR) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,904 miles (19,157 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.

• Berlin Tegel Airport handled 19,591,849 passengers last year.
• Plans for converting the area into allotment gardens were shelved due to the Berlin Blockade, which began on 24 June 1948.
