About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Peterborough Airport (YPQ), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada and Al-Baha Domestic Airport (ABT), Al-Baha, Saudi Arabia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,591 miles (or 10,608 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 Peterborough Airport and Al-Baha Domestic 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 Peterborough Airport and Al-Baha Domestic Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Peterborough Airport (YPQ):
- Work has been completed to expand the existing 5,000 ft asphalt runway to 7,000 ft, making the runway capable of handling larger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 737.
- The closest airport to Peterborough Airport (YPQ) is Oshawa Municipal Airport (YOO), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) SW of YPQ.
- Peterborough Airport (YPQ) has 2 runways.
- Because of Peterborough Airport's relatively low elevation of 628 feet, planes can take off or land at Peterborough 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 Peterborough Airport (YPQ) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,425 miles (18,387 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
