Nonstop flight route between Panama City, Florida, United States and Union Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tyndall Air Force Base (PAM), Panama City, Florida, United States and Union Island Airport (UNI), Union Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,961 miles (or 3,155 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 Tyndall Air Force Base and Union Island Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Union Island Airport (UNI):

• The furthest airport from Union Island Airport (UNI) is Umbu Mehang Kunda Airport (WGP), which is nearly antipodal to Union Island Airport (meaning Union Island Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Umbu Mehang Kunda Airport), and is located 12,203 miles (19,639 kilometers) away in Waingapu, Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
• Because of Union Island Airport's relatively low elevation of 14 feet, planes can take off or land at Union Island Airport 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.
• Union Island Airport (UNI) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Union Island Airport (UNI) is Canouan Airport (CIW), which is located only 8 miles (14 kilometers) NE of UNI.
