Nonstop flight route between Hamadan, Iran and Celle, Germany:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hamadan Airport (HDM), Hamadan, Iran and Celle Air Base (ZCN), Celle, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,241 miles (or 3,606 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 Hamadan Airport and Celle Air Base, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Hamadan Airport's high elevation of 5,755 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at HDM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make HDM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

Facts about Celle Air Base (ZCN):

• The closest airport to Celle Air Base (ZCN) is Hannover Airport (HAJ), which is located only 17 miles (27 kilometers) WSW of ZCN.
• With the commencement of training flights, Celle Air Base regained instrument flight ability and Bell UH-1D helicopters were again stationed on the air base.
