Nonstop flight route between Albenga, Italy and Tegel / Berlin, Germany:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Albenga Airport (ALL), Albenga, Italy and Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 634 miles (or 1,020 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 Albenga Airport and Berlin Tegel Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• In the late 1950s, the runways at West Berlin's city centre Tempelhof Airport had become too short to accommodate the new-generation jet aircraft such as the Aérospatiale Caravelle, Boeing 707, de Havilland Comet and Douglas DC-8, without imposing payload or range restrictions.
• In addition to being known as "Berlin Tegel Airport", another name for TXL is "Flughafen Berlin-Tegel".
