About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Boone Municipal Airport (BNW), Boone, Iowa, United States and Nuuk Airport (GOH), Nuuk, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,252 miles (or 3,623 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 Boone Municipal Airport and Nuuk Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Nuuk Airport (GOH):

  • Because of Nuuk Airport's relatively low elevation of 283 feet, planes can take off or land at Nuuk 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.
  • Another option mentioned is to have Keflavik, Iceland as the international hub, close Kangerlussuaq, and expand Nuuk Airport runway slightly, so small jet planes can use it.
