About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States and York Landing Airport (ZAC), York Landing, Manitoba, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,537 miles (or 2,473 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 Albuquerque International Sunport and York Landing Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ):
- The airport's freight center moved 67,000 tons of cargo in 2008.
- The Sunport began a new role in 1940 when it was designated Albuquerque Army Air Base, the precursor to today's Kirtland Air Force Base.
- Albuquerque International Sunport handled 5,801,641 passengers last year.
- Because of Albuquerque International Sunport's high elevation of 5,355 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ABQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ABQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Albuquerque in the 1930s was served by two private airports, West Mesa Airport and Oxnard Field.
- Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) has 4 runways.
- The present terminal was designed by William E.
