About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Goshen Municipal Airport (GSH), Goshen, Indiana, United States and Kulusuk Airport (KUS), Kulusuk, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,494 miles (or 4,013 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 Goshen Municipal Airport and Kulusuk Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Goshen Municipal Airport (GSH):
- The furthest airport from Goshen Municipal Airport (GSH) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,184 miles (18,000 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
- Because of Goshen Municipal Airport's relatively low elevation of 827 feet, planes can take off or land at Goshen Municipal 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.
- Goshen Municipal Airport (GSH) has 2 runways.
- The closest airport to Goshen Municipal Airport (GSH) is Elkhart Municipal Airport (EKI), which is located only 17 miles (28 kilometers) NW of GSH.
Facts about Kulusuk Airport (KUS):
- The furthest airport from Kulusuk Airport (KUS) is Hobart International Airport (HBA), which is located 10,856 miles (17,471 kilometers) away in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
- Given the increasing number of passengers travelling through the airport due to connections provided by Air Iceland, both domestic to Nerlerit Inaat Airport and international to Iceland, the number of fixed-schedule helicopter flights to Tasiilaq is not sufficient to cover demand, due to a single Bell 212 helicopter of Air Greenland stationed at the airport.
- Before Air Greenland took over Air Alpha, flights had been operated on-demand by two helicopters.
- Because of Kulusuk Airport's relatively low elevation of 117 feet, planes can take off or land at Kulusuk 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.
- Kulusuk Airport handled 14,738 passengers last year.

- In addition to being known as "Kulusuk Airport", another name for KUS is "Mittarfik Kulusuk".
- Unlike the heliport in Tasiilaq on the nearby Ammassalik Island, the airport in Kulusuk can serve STOL aircraft, thus functioning as a mini-hub for Tasiilaq.
- Kulusuk Airport (KUS) currently has only 1 runway.
