Nonstop flight route between Craig Cove, Ambrym Island, Malampa, Vanuatu and Lander, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Craig Cove Airport (CCV), Craig Cove, Ambrym Island, Malampa, Vanuatu and Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,650 miles (or 10,702 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 Craig Cove Airport and Hunt Field, 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 Craig Cove Airport and Hunt Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• The closest airport to Craig Cove Airport (CCV) is Malekoula Airport (LPM), which is located only 15 miles (24 kilometers) SSW of CCV.
• The furthest airport from Craig Cove Airport (CCV) is Kiffa Airport (KFA), which is nearly antipodal to Craig Cove Airport (meaning Craig Cove Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Kiffa Airport), and is located 12,387 miles (19,935 kilometers) away in Kiffa, Mauritania.
