Nonstop flight route between Cody, Wyoming, United States and Taipa, Macau:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Yellowstone Regional Airport (COD), Cody, Wyoming, United States and Macau International Airport (MFM), Taipa, Macau would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,103 miles (or 11,431 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 Yellowstone Regional Airport and Macau International 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 Yellowstone Regional Airport and Macau International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• A new $12.5 million airport terminal recently opened in December 2010.
• Because of Yellowstone Regional Airport's high elevation of 5,102 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at COD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make COD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• It should not be confused with Yellowstone Airport, located 104 miles away in West Yellowstone, Montana, near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
• Yellowstone Regional Airport (COD) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Yellowstone Regional Airport (COD) is Worland Municipal Airport (WRL), which is located 66 miles (106 kilometers) SE of COD.
