About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Nuuk Airport (GOH), Nuuk, Greenland and Havre City-County Airport (HVR), Havre, Montana, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,363 miles (or 3,803 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 Nuuk Airport and Havre City-County Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Nuuk Airport (GOH):
- Nuuk Airport handled 69,324 passengers last year.
- The tragedy was one of the factors leading to the decision to invest in a helicopter fleet.
- Another option mentioned is to have Keflavik, Iceland as the international hub, close Kangerlussuaq, and expand Nuuk Airport runway slightly, so small jet planes can use it.
- These well-grounded arguments for preserving the status quo pose a problem for the Government of Greenland, which oversees the development of the airport network through Mittarfeqarfiit, the airport administration authority.
