Data study — computed from our own files
Longest flights from Dammam
We measured the great-circle distance from King Fahd International Airport (DMM) to every one of the 97 airports in our network and ranked them. Durations are a published geometric estimate — not a schedule.

Methodology (every figure reproducible)
- Inputs: src/data/travel/airports.json (97 airports with lat/lng) + the 14 hub list defined in src/lib/airportData.ts (FLIGHT_HUBS_IATA).
- Distance: haversine formula on a 6371 km-radius earth (src/lib/geo.ts — haversineKm), rounded to the nearest km.
- Duration: estimateFlightMinutes = (km ÷ 850 km/h) × 60 + a fixed 35-minute taxi/climb allowance. Block-time estimate only — no stops, no delays.
- Ranking: descending by distance. Calculator links (flight-time-{hub}-to-{iata}) render only when actually present in catalog/generated/travel.json.
