About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), Eagle, Colorado (near Vail), United States and Moore County Airport (SOP), Pinehurst / Southern Pines, North Carolina, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,534 miles (or 2,469 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 Eagle County Regional Airport and Moore County Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE):
- EGE's terminal consists of a single concourse with five gates, constructed in 1996 and remodeled in 2001 and 2007.
- During the ski season, airlines mostly operate the Boeing 757 which are able to make non-stop flights to most U.S.
- There are several private charter companies that offer ground transportation service to Vail, Beaver Creek, and Aspen.
- Because of Eagle County Regional Airport's high elevation of 6,547 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at EGE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make EGE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) currently has only 1 runway.

- However, a recent court ruling said the village had no legal jurisdiction over the airport because it operates under an independent authority that was established in 1993.
