Nonstop flight route between Augusta, Georgia, United States and Ambato, Ecuador:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Daniel Field (DNL), Augusta, Georgia, United States and Chachoan Airport (ATF), Ambato, Ecuador would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,407 miles (or 3,873 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 Daniel Field and Chachoan Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• The furthest airport from Daniel Field (DNL) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,452 miles (18,430 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
• Because of Daniel Field's relatively low elevation of 423 feet, planes can take off or land at Daniel Field at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• The closest airport to Daniel Field (DNL) is Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field (AGS), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) SSE of DNL.
• Daniel Field (DNL) has 2 runways.
