About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Paro International Airport (PBH), Paro, Bhutan and Kerteh Airport (KTE), Kerteh, Terengganu, Malaysia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,835 miles (or 2,954 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 Paro International Airport and Kerteh Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Paro International Airport (PBH):
- The closest airport to Paro International Airport (PBH) is Cooch Behar Airport (COH), which is located 65 miles (104 kilometers) SSE of PBH.
- With surrounding peaks as high as 18,000 ft it is considered one of the world's most challenging airports, and as of October 2009, only eight pilots in the world are certified to land at the airport.
- The furthest airport from Paro International Airport (PBH) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,281 miles (18,155 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
- Paro International Airport (PBH) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Paro International Airport's high elevation of 7,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PBH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PBH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Druk Air is the national flag carrier airline of Bhutan and has its base at Paro Airport.
- The second international airport project, which was planned for construction at the Gelephu site, was downgraded to a domestic airport project in October 2008.

- In addition to being known as "Kerteh Airport", another name for KTE is "Lapangan Terbang Kerteh".
