The Delhi to Mumbai route drawn as a great circle arc on a globe

What the aircraft actually flies over

From Delhi the path crosses India.

The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 28.6°N, 0% of the way along.

Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.

The heading barely moves: south-west out of Delhi, south into Mumbai. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
