Both ends are in Asia. **Great circle** 1,137 km 706 mi **Estimated in the air** 1h 55m block time **Furthest from equator** 28.6°N at 0% along **One lap of Earth** 2.8% of 40,075 km Of the [292 routes catalogued here](https://orbitflights.app/routes), this is the 247th longest. 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. One economy seat on it is about 169 kg of CO₂e each way, counting non-CO₂ warming.
