Nonstop flight route between Wendover, Utah, United States and Resolute, Nunavut, Canada:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Wendover Airport (ENV), Wendover, Utah, United States and Resolute Bay Airport (YRB), Resolute, Nunavut, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,426 miles (or 3,903 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 Wendover Airport and Resolute Bay Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Still-extant facilities include three paved runways, numerous ramps, taxiways, dispersal pads, all of the original hangars, and 75 other World War II–era buildings.
• Because of Wendover Airport's high elevation of 4,237 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ENV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ENV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Wendover Airport (ENV) is Wells Municipal Airport (LWL), which is located 54 miles (87 kilometers) WNW of ENV.
• Wendover Airport (ENV) has 2 runways.
