About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Arly Airport (ARL), Arly, Burkina Faso and Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport (ALM), Alamogordo, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,767 miles (or 10,890 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 Arly Airport and Alamogordo–White Sands Regional 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 Arly Airport and Alamogordo–White Sands Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Arly Airport (ARL):

  • Arly Airport (ARL) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Arly Airport's relatively low elevation of 761 feet, planes can take off or land at Arly 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.
  • The closest airport to Arly Airport (ARL) is Diapaga Airport (DIP), which is located 38 miles (61 kilometers) NNE of ARL.
  • In addition to being known as "Arly Airport", another name for ARL is "Arly Airport (Arly)".
