Nonstop flight route between Denver, Colorado, United States and Yaren, Nauru:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Nauru International Airport (INU), Yaren, Nauru would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,158 miles (or 9,911 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 Denver International Airport and Nauru 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 Denver International Airport and Nauru International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

• Denver International Airport is the main hub for low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines and commuter carrier Great Lakes Airlines.
• As part of the original design of the airport the city specified passenger volume "triggers" that would lead to a redevelopment of the master plan and possible new construction to make sure the airport is able to meet Denver's needs.
• The airport is 25 miles driving distance from downtown Denver, which is 19 miles further away than Stapleton International Airport, the airport it replaced.
• Another blizzard on December 20 and 21, 2006 dumped over 20 inches of snow in about 24 hours.

• Because of Denver International Airport's high elevation of 5,431 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DEN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DEN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Denver International Airport (DEN) has 6 runways.
• Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.
• The closest airport to Denver International Airport (DEN) is Centennial Airport (APA), which is located 22 miles (36 kilometers) SSW of DEN.
