About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Courchevel Airport (CVF), Courchevel, France and Horn Island Airport (HID), Horn Island, Queensland, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,888 miles (or 14,304 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 Courchevel Airport and Horn Island 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 Courchevel Airport and Horn Island Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Courchevel Airport (CVF):

  • The furthest airport from Courchevel Airport (CVF) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Courchevel Airport (meaning Courchevel Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,249 miles (19,713 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • In addition to being known as "Courchevel Airport", another name for CVF is "Aérodrome de Courchevel".
  • Because of Courchevel Airport's high elevation of 6,588 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CVF. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CVF a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • The closest airport to Courchevel Airport (CVF) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located only 3 miles (5 kilometers) WNW of CVF.
  • Courchevel Airport (CVF) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Horn Island Airport (HID):

  • The furthest airport from Horn Island Airport (HID) is São Filipe Airport (SFL), which is located 11,497 miles (18,503 kilometers) away in Fogo, Cape Verde.
  • The closest airport to Horn Island Airport (HID) is Kubin Airport (KUG), which is located 25 miles (41 kilometers) N of HID.
  • Because of Horn Island Airport's relatively low elevation of 43 feet, planes can take off or land at Horn Island 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.
