Nonstop flight route between Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom and Chachapoyas, Peru:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Belfast International Airport (BFS), Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom and Chachapoyas Airport (CHH), Chachapoyas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,850 miles (or 9,414 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 Belfast International Airport and Chachapoyas 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 Belfast International Airport and Chachapoyas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Chachapoyas Airport (CHH) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Chachapoyas Airport's high elevation of 8,333 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CHH. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CHH a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
