About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Cape Dorset Airport (YTE), Cape Dorset, Nunavut, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,030 miles (or 3,266 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 relatively short distance between Denver International Airport and Cape Dorset Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):
- The airport is 25 miles driving distance from downtown Denver, which is 19 miles further away than Stapleton International Airport, the airport it replaced.
- With the construction of DIA, Denver was determined to build an airport that could be easily expanded over the next 50 years to eliminate many of the problems that had plagued Stapleton International Airport.
- Because of Denver International Airport's high elevation of 5,431 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DEN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DEN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.
- Denver International Airport (DEN) has 6 runways.
- DIA finally replaced Stapleton on February 28, 1995, 16 months behind schedule and at a cost of $4.8 billion, nearly $2 billion over budget.
