About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Sirjan Airport (SYJ), Sirjan, Kerman Province, Iran and Alexandria International Airport (ALY), Alexandria, Egypt would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,534 miles (or 2,468 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 Sirjan Airport and Alexandria International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Sirjan Airport (SYJ):
- Sirjan Airport (SYJ) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Sirjan Airport (SYJ) is Kerman International Airport (KER), which is located 92 miles (148 kilometers) ENE of SYJ.
- The furthest airport from Sirjan Airport (SYJ) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,646 miles (18,742 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
- Because of Sirjan Airport's high elevation of 5,846 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SYJ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SYJ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Alexandria International Airport (ALY):
- The future of the airport was in doubt with the opening of Borg El Arab Airport, however in early 2011 the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation announced major plans to overhaul the airport and its facilities to ensure its future as one of the two commercial airports for Alexandria and Nile Delta region.
- Due to the length of the runways, the largest aircraft operating into the airport were the Airbus A320-200, Boeing 737-800 and McDonnell Douglas MD-90.
- Because of Alexandria International Airport's relatively low elevation of -6 feet, planes can take off or land at Alexandria International 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 furthest airport from Alexandria International Airport (ALY) is Rurutu Airport (RUR), which is located 11,827 miles (19,033 kilometers) away in Rurutu, French Polynesia.
- Alexandria International Airport (ALY) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Alexandria International Airport (ALY) is Borg El Arab International Airport (HBE), which is located 24 miles (38 kilometers) SW of ALY.
- In addition to being known as "Alexandria International Airport", another name for ALY is "El Nouzha Airport".
