About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States and Thorne Bay Seaplane Base (KTB), Thorne Bay, Alaska, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,674 miles (or 2,694 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 relatively short distance between Denver International Airport and Thorne Bay Seaplane Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

  • The furthest airport from Denver International Airport (DEN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,877 miles (17,505 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
  • Denver International Airport (DEN) has 6 runways.
  • All international flights requiring customs and immigration services currently fly into Concourse A.
  • During the blizzard of March 17–19, 2003, heavy snow tore a hole in the terminal's white fabric roof.
  • 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.
  • Both during construction and after its opening Denver International Airport has set aside a portion of its construction and operation budgets for art.
  • Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.

  • Between February and August 2008, construction of an on-site, two-megawattsolar energy system took place.
  • 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.
