About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH), Windhoek, Namibia and Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport (YRO), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,457 miles (or 12,001 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 Hosea Kutako International Airport and Ottawa/Rockcliffe 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 Hosea Kutako International Airport and Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH):

  • Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport underwent a modernising makeover in 2009.
  • Hosea Kutako International Airport handled 681,317 passengers last year.
  • Few, if any, domestic flights pass through Hosea Kutako Airport as those are predominantly handled at the smaller Windhoek Eros Airport.
  • Because of Hosea Kutako International Airport's high elevation of 5,640 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at WDH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make WDH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) has 2 runways.
  • The furthest airport from Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) is PMRF Barking Sands (BKH), which is nearly antipodal to Hosea Kutako International Airport (meaning Hosea Kutako International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from PMRF Barking Sands), and is located 12,258 miles (19,727 kilometers) away in Kekaha, Hawaii, United States.
  • Hosea Kutako International Airport is the main international airport serving the Namibian capital city of Windhoek.

  • Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport or Rockcliffe Airport, a former military base, is a non-towered airport located on the south shore of the Ottawa River, 4 nautical miles northeast of Downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
  • During the 1970s the airport was also used for scheduled short takeoff and landing commercial flights to the short-lived Victoria STOLport near downtown Montreal.
  • Because of Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport's relatively low elevation of 188 feet, planes can take off or land at Ottawa/Rockcliffe 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 airport land was originally a military rifle range.
