About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW), Fort Worth, Texas, United States and Slave Lake Airport (YZH), Slave Lake, Alberta, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,756 miles (or 2,827 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 Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Slave Lake Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW):
- By the 1990s, the annual passenger air traffic at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport had exceeded the airport's capacity, and a solution was proposed to repeal the Wright Amendment and open Alliance Airport to passenger service, effectively providing DFW with two reliever airports.
- Because of Fort Worth Alliance Airport's relatively low elevation of 722 feet, planes can take off or land at Fort Worth Alliance 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.
