What the aircraft actually flies over
From Doha the path crosses United Arab Emirates, then Oman, then 2,459 km of open water.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 25.3°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.
Leaving Doha the aircraft points south-east (131°); it arrives into Malé heading south-east (137°). That is 6° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
