About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI), Ulukhaktok, Northwest Territories, Canada and Skardu Airport (KDU), Skardu, Pakistan would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,076 miles (or 8,169 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 large distance between Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport and Skardu Airport, the route shown on this map most likely appears curved because of this reason.

Try it at home! Get a globe and tightly lay a string between Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport and Skardu Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI):

  • Currently the only fuel available is turbine kerosene and it is provided by a local contractor.
  • The furthest airport from Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI) is Teniente Rodolfo Marsh Airport (TNM), which is located 9,609 miles (15,464 kilometers) away in Villa Las Estrellas, Antarctica.
  • Prior to the construction of the airport all aircraft either landed on an ice strip in the winter or in the middle of town.
  • By early 1979 the snow problem was so great that the runway was no longer a straight line.
  • Because of Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport's relatively low elevation of 117 feet, planes can take off or land at Ulukhaktok/Holman 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.
  • Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Ulukhaktok/Holman Airport (YHI) is Paulatuk (Nora Aliqatchialuk Ruben) Airport (YPC), which is located 177 miles (284 kilometers) WSW of YHI.

  • In addition to being known as "Skardu Airport", another name for KDU is "سکردو ہوائی اڈے".
  • Because of Skardu Airport's high elevation of 7,316 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KDU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KDU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
