Nonstop flight route between Kemmerer, Wyoming, United States and Edinburgh, United Kingdom:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kemmerer Municipal Airport (EMM), Kemmerer, Wyoming, United States and Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Edinburgh, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,462 miles (or 7,181 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 Kemmerer Municipal Airport and Edinburgh 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 Kemmerer Municipal Airport and Edinburgh Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Kemmerer Municipal Airport's high elevation of 7,285 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at EMM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make EMM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

Facts about Edinburgh Airport (EDI):

• There are currently no direct rail links to Edinburgh Airport, although it lies very close to the Fife Circle and the Edinburgh-Glasgow railway lines.
• Although the original main runway 13/31 served the airport well, its alignment had the disadvantage of suffering from severe crosswinds and the other two minor runways were very short and could not be readily extended, so movements were transferred to a new runway in an addition completely outside the original airfield boundary.
• In April 2008 work began on the resurfacing of the main runway.
• The airport is owned and operated by Global Infrastructure Partners, which also owns and operates Gatwick Airport and London City Airport.
• The closest airport to Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Perth Airport (PSL), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) N of EDI.

• In 1918 the Royal Air Force was formed and the airfield was named RAF Turnhouse and ownership transferred to the Ministry of Defence.
• The furthest airport from Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Ryan's Creek Aerodrome (SZS), which is located 11,713 miles (18,850 kilometers) away in Stewart Island, New Zealand.
