Nonstop flight route between Naples, Florida, United States and Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Naples Municipal Airport (APF), Naples, Florida, United States and Los Alamos Airport (LAM), Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,592 miles (or 2,563 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 Naples Municipal Airport and Los Alamos Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Naples Municipal Airport (APF):

• The 2013 Federal sequester will result in the closure of the airport's contract control tower and will require pilots to rely on air traffic controllers from other area airports.
• Although the airport served more than 100,000 passengers per year through 2000, geographic factors limited its capacity, and the opening of the much larger Southwest Florida International Airport in nearby Fort Myers drew medium-haul traffic away from Naples.
• Because of Naples Municipal Airport's relatively low elevation of 8 feet, planes can take off or land at Naples Municipal 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.
• In addition to being known as "Naples Municipal Airport", another name for APF is "(former Naples Army Airfield)".
