Nonstop flight route between Yuma, Arizona, United States and Khuzdar, Pakistan:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Yuma International Airport (YUM), Yuma, Arizona, United States and Khuzdar Airport (KDD), Khuzdar, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,259 miles (or 13,292 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 Yuma International Airport and Khuzdar 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 Yuma International Airport and Khuzdar Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Yuma International Airport (YUM):

• "There is also granted an easement for public airport purposes in and to the land area and facilities of the Yuma County Airport, granting to the County of Yuma, State of Arizona, its successors in functions or interest and assigns, the right to use for the landing, takeoff, and parking of civil aircraft, in common with aircraft.
• In addition to being known as "Yuma International Airport", other names for YUM include "MCAS Yuma" and "NYL".
• Because of Yuma International Airport's relatively low elevation of 216 feet, planes can take off or land at Yuma International 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.
• Over a span of many years the relationship between the Airport and Marine Corps Air Station Yuma deteriorated to an exceptional degree.
• Yuma International Airport covers an area of 3,100 acres at an elevation of 216 feet above mean sea level.
• At the same time, the United States of America issued a U.S.
• Yuma International Airport (YUM) has 4 runways.
• The Board unanimously approved the resolution.

• Because of Khuzdar Airport's high elevation of 4,012 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KDD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KDD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Khuzdar Airport (KDD) currently has only 1 runway.
