About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Eugene Airport (EUG), Eugene, Oregon, United States and Banff Airport (YBA), Banff, Alberta, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 605 miles (or 974 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 Eugene Airport and Banff Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Eugene Airport (EUG):
- Because of Eugene Airport's relatively low elevation of 374 feet, planes can take off or land at Eugene Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- The closest airport to Eugene Airport (EUG) is Corvallis Municipal Airport (CVO), which is located 26 miles (42 kilometers) N of EUG.
- In addition to being known as "Eugene Airport", another name for EUG is "Mahlon Sweet FieldEugene Municipal Airport".
- The parking facility is attended 24 hours a day and contains 237 short-term and more than 1000 long-term parking spaces in the main lot, with an additional 582 spaces in the overflow lot.
- Eugene Airport (EUG) has 2 runways.
- The furthest airport from Eugene Airport (EUG) is Tôlanaro Airport (FTU), which is located 11,007 miles (17,714 kilometers) away in Tôlanaro, Madagascar.

- Because of Banff Airport's high elevation of 4,583 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at YBA. Combined with a high temperature, this could make YBA a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
