About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN), Angoon, Alaska, United States and Golmud Airport (GOQ), Golmud, Qinghai, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,345 miles (or 8,601 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 Angoon Seaplane Base and Golmud 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 Angoon Seaplane Base and Golmud Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN):

  • It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation facility.
  • Because of Angoon Seaplane Base's relatively low elevation of 0 feet, planes can take off or land at Angoon Seaplane Base 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.
  • Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The closest airport to Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN) is Chatham Seaplane Base (CYM), which is located only 13 miles (22 kilometers) W of AGN.
  • The furthest airport from Angoon Seaplane Base (AGN) is Port Alfred Airport (AFD), which is located 10,568 miles (17,008 kilometers) away in Port Alfred, South Africa.

Facts about Golmud Airport (GOQ):

  • The closest airport to Golmud Airport (GOQ) is Dunhuang Airport (DNH), which is located 260 miles (418 kilometers) N of GOQ.
