About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Conakry International Airport (CKY), Conakry, Guinea and Grande Cache Airport (YGC), Grande Cache, Alberta, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,291 miles (or 10,125 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 Conakry International Airport and Grande Cache 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 Conakry International Airport and Grande Cache Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • With a goal to increase annual passenger capacity to 1 million passengers, in 2009 renovations began on the main terminal.
  • Because of Conakry International Airport's relatively low elevation of 72 feet, planes can take off or land at Conakry 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.
  • Conakry International Airport (CKY) currently has only 1 runway.
  • It was reported in 1975 that most of the Guinean air force's aircraft were based at Conakry-Gbessia airport.
