Nonstop flight route between Fairbanks / Fort Wainwright, Alaska, United States and Anggi, Indonesia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ladd Army Airfield (FBK), Fairbanks / Fort Wainwright, Alaska, United States and Anggi Airport (AGD), Anggi, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,970 miles (or 9,607 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 Ladd Army Airfield and Anggi 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 Ladd Army Airfield and Anggi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Ladd Army Airfield (FBK):

• The airplanes arrived at Ladd were stripped of all but basic instrumentation and armament.
• In addition to being known as "Ladd Army Airfield", another name for FBK is "(Ladd Air Force Base)".
• Because of Ladd Army Airfield's relatively low elevation of 454 feet, planes can take off or land at Ladd Army Airfield 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.
• Weather and Testing Units
• The furthest airport from Ladd Army Airfield (FBK) is Port Elizabeth International Airport (PLZ), which is located 10,286 miles (16,554 kilometers) away in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
• The closest airport to Ladd Army Airfield (FBK) is Fairbanks International Airport (FAI), which is located only 7 miles (12 kilometers) WSW of FBK.
• Ladd Army Airfield (FBK) currently has only 1 runway.

Facts about Anggi Airport (AGD):

• Anggi Airport (AGD) currently has only 1 runway.
• The furthest airport from Anggi Airport (AGD) is Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (BEL), which is nearly antipodal to Anggi Airport (meaning Anggi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Belém/Val de Cans–Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport), and is located 12,186 miles (19,612 kilometers) away in Belém, Pará, Brazil.

• The closest airport to Anggi Airport (AGD) is Rendani Airport (MKW), which is located 36 miles (58 kilometers) NNE of AGD.
• Because of Anggi Airport's high elevation of 7,054 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at AGD. Combined with a high temperature, this could make AGD a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
