About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Kota Airport (KTU), Kota, India and Marfa Municipal Airport (MRF), Marfa, Texas, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,600 miles (or 13,840 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 Kota Airport and Marfa Municipal 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 Kota Airport and Marfa Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Kota Airport", other names for KTU include "कोटा हवाई अड्डे" and "KOTA".
- Kota Airport (KTU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Kota Airport's relatively low elevation of 896 feet, planes can take off or land at Kota 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 Kota Airport (KTU) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is nearly antipodal to Kota Airport (meaning Kota Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Mataveri International Airport), and is located 12,082 miles (19,444 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
