About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Shiraz International Airport (SYZ), Shiraz, Iran and Alexandria International Airport (ALY), Alexandria, Egypt would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,352 miles (or 2,176 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 Shiraz International Airport and Alexandria International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Shiraz International Airport (SYZ):

  • Shiraz International Airport (SYZ) has 2 runways.
  • Because of Shiraz International Airport's high elevation of 4,920 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SYZ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SYZ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • In addition to being known as "Shiraz International Airport", another name for SYZ is "Shahid Dastghaib International Airport Tadayon Air Base".
  • The furthest airport from Shiraz International Airport (SYZ) is Totegegie Airport (GMR), which is located 11,794 miles (18,981 kilometers) away in Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia.
