Nonstop flight route between Quetta, Pakistan and Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Quetta International Airport (UET), Quetta, Pakistan and Labo Airport (OZC), Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,967 miles (or 6,384 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 Quetta International Airport and Labo 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 Quetta International Airport and Labo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Quetta International Airport (UET):

• The airport like many airports in pre-independence days were mainly a small airstrip offering air operations on behalf of the British Empire.
• Because of Quetta International Airport's high elevation of 5,267 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at UET. Combined with a high temperature, this could make UET a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Quetta International Airport (UET) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Quetta International Airport (meaning Quetta International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,131 miles (19,522 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
• The closest airport to Quetta International Airport (UET) is Kabul International Airport (KDH), which is located 109 miles (175 kilometers) NW of UET.
