Nonstop flight route between Tasiilaq, Greenland and Megève, France:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM), Tasiilaq, Greenland and Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,126 miles (or 3,421 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 Tasiilaq Heliport and Megève Aerodrome, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Tasiilaq Heliport (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.
• The closest airport to Tasiilaq Heliport (AGM) is Kulusuk Airport (KUS), which is located only 14 miles (23 kilometers) E of AGM.
• 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.
• Tasiilaq Heliport handled 6,471 passengers last year.

• The closest airport to Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) S of MVV.
• Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
