About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP), Avoca, Pennsylvania, United States and Gibraltar International Airport (GIB), Gibraltar would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,704 miles (or 5,961 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 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and Gibraltar International 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 Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and Gibraltar International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP):
- The closest airport to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) is Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport (WBW), which is located only 7 miles (12 kilometers) WSW of AVP.
- Because of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport's relatively low elevation of 962 feet, planes can take off or land at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International 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.
- Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,655 miles (18,757 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- American Airlines pulled out in 1964 and TWA left in 1965–66, but Eastern remained until 1991 and a regional affiliate replaced US Airways around 2004-5.
Facts about Gibraltar International Airport (GIB):
- The furthest airport from Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is Whangarei Airport (WRE), which is nearly antipodal to Gibraltar International Airport (meaning Gibraltar International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Whangarei Airport), and is located 12,406 miles (19,965 kilometers) away in Whangarei, New Zealand.
- In addition to being known as "Gibraltar International Airport", another name for GIB is "(North Front Airport)".
- Gibraltar International Airport handled 383,013 passengers last year.
- The closest airport to Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) is Ceuta Heliport (JCU), which is located only 18 miles (29 kilometers) S of GIB.
- By late 2005 and early 2006, the implementation of a new agreement was one of the main topics of the Gibraltar Trilateral Forum being held between the Governments of Gibraltar, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- Since then, Spain successfully excluded Gibraltar from European wide de-regulation initiatives, preventing direct links from Gibraltar to the rest of the European Union, on the grounds that no regulation that somehow recognises the sovereignty of the United Kingdom over the Gibraltar peninsula may be implemented without a previous agreement on the airport.
- There is one terminal at Gibraltar International.
- Gibraltar International Airport (GIB) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Gibraltar International Airport's relatively low elevation of 15 feet, planes can take off or land at Gibraltar International 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.
- From 2011 until October 2012, EasyJet offered thrice-weekly service from Gibraltar to Liverpool, but it was eventually cancelled due to lack of demand.
- The road across the runway is constraining operations at the airport, especially with the increase in operations since the Córdoba Agreement.
