Nonstop flight route between Tasiilaq, Greenland and Lalibela, Ethiopia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM), Tasiilaq, Greenland and Lalibela Airport (LLI), Lalibela, Ethiopia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,085 miles (or 8,183 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 Tasiilaq Heliport and Lalibela 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 Tasiilaq Heliport and Lalibela Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM):

• Tasiilaq Heliport handled 6,471 passengers last year.
• Because of Tasiilaq Heliport's relatively low elevation of 24 feet, planes can take off or land at Tasiilaq Heliport 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.
• The closest airport to Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM) is Kulusuk Airport (KUS), which is located only 14 miles (23 kilometers) E of AGM.
• The furthest airport from Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM) is Hobart International Airport (HBA), which is located 10,851 miles (17,463 kilometers) away in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
• In addition to being known as "Tasiilaq Heliport", another name for AGM is "Ammassalik Heliport".

Facts about Lalibela Airport (LLI):

• The closest airport to Lalibela Airport (LLI) is Debre Tabor Airport (DBT), which is located 67 miles (107 kilometers) W of LLI.
• Lalibela Airport is an airport serving Lalibela, a city in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.
• The furthest airport from Lalibela Airport (LLI) is Atuona Airport (AUQ), which is nearly antipodal to Lalibela Airport (meaning Lalibela Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Atuona Airport), and is located 12,233 miles (19,687 kilometers) away in Atuona, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
• Lalibela Airport (LLI) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Lalibela Airport's high elevation of 6,424 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LLI. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LLI a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
