About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Cassidy International Airport (CXI), Christmas Island, Kiribati and Los Alamos Airport (LAM), Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,012 miles (or 6,456 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 Cassidy International Airport and Los Alamos 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 Cassidy International Airport and Los Alamos Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Cassidy International Airport (CXI):

  • The closest airport to Cassidy International Airport (CXI) is Manihiki Island Airport (MHX), which is located 891 miles (1,433 kilometers) SSW of CXI.
  • Because of Cassidy International Airport's relatively low elevation of 5 feet, planes can take off or land at Cassidy 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.
  • During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command used the airport as a refuelling stop on its Pacific transport route from Hawaii to Kanton Island for flights to Australia and New Zealand as well as a staging point for attacks on the Gilbert Islands, then occupied by Japan.
  • On 29 August 2008, Air Pacific announced they would suspend flights operating the airport from 2 September 2008.
  • The furthest airport from Cassidy International Airport (CXI) is Ikela Airport (IKL), which is nearly antipodal to Cassidy International Airport (meaning Cassidy International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ikela Airport), and is located 12,367 miles (19,903 kilometers) away in Ikela, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
  • The airport is at an elevation of 5ft above mean sea level.
  • Cassidy International Airport (CXI) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Los Alamos Airport (LAM):

  • Los Alamos Airport covers an area of 89 acres at an elevation of 7,171 feet above mean sea level.

  • In addition to being known as "Los Alamos Airport", another name for LAM is "Los Alamos County Airport".
  • Because of Los Alamos Airport's high elevation of 7,171 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
