Nonstop flight route between Denver, Colorado, United States and Jönköping, Sweden:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Jönköping Airport (JKG), Jönköping, Sweden would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,823 miles (or 7,762 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 Jönköping 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 Jönköping Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

• Jeppesen Terminal's internationally recognized peaked roof, designed by Fentress Bradburn Architects, is reflective of snow-capped mountains and evokes the early history of Colorado when Native American teepees were located across the Great Plains.
• Denver has traditionally been home to one of the busier airports in the nation because of its location.
• On September 25, 1994, the airport hosted a fly-in that drew several hundred general aviation aircraft, providing pilots with a unique opportunity to operate in and out of the new airport, and to wander around on foot looking at the ground-side facilities—including the baggage system, which was still under testing.
• 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.
• The automated baggage system never worked as designed, and in August 2005 it became public knowledge that United would abandon the system, a decision that would save them $1 million per month in maintenance costs.
• It was the fifth-busiest airport in the world by aircraft movements with over 635,000 movements in 2010.
• Both during construction and after its opening Denver International Airport has set aside a portion of its construction and operation budgets for art.
