Nonstop flight route between Greenville, Mississippi, United States and Megève, France:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Mid-Delta Regional Airport (GLH), Greenville, Mississippi, United States and Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,935 miles (or 7,943 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 Mid-Delta Regional Airport and Megève Aerodrome, 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 Mid-Delta Regional Airport and Megève Aerodrome. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Mid-Delta Regional Airport is the only commercial airport located in the Mississippi Delta.
• The facility has two runways, the primary being 18L/36R which is composed of an asphalt surface 150 feet wide by 8,001 feet long.
• Because of Mid-Delta Regional Airport's relatively low elevation of 131 feet, planes can take off or land at Mid-Delta Regional 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 Mid-Delta Regional Airport (GLH) is Greenwood-Leflore Airport (GWO), which is located 52 miles (84 kilometers) E of GLH.
• Mid-Delta Regional Airport (GLH) has 2 runways.
