Nonstop flight route between Coromandel, New Zealand and Megève, France:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV), Coromandel, New Zealand and Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,588 miles (or 18,649 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 Coromandel Aerodrome and Megève Aerodrome, 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 Coromandel Aerodrome and Megève Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Coromandel Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Coromandel Aerodrome 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.
• Coromandel Aerodrome (CMV) currently has only 1 runway.

• In addition to being known as "Megève Aerodrome", another name for MVV is "Altiport de Megève".
• Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Megève Aerodrome (meaning Megève Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,231 miles (19,683 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
