Nonstop flight route between Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States and Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA), Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States and Nanaimo Airport (YCD), Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,946 miles (or 3,132 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 Fort Wayne International Airport and Nanaimo Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
