Nonstop flight route between Hoonah, Alaska, United States and Wendover, Utah, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Hoonah Airport (HNH), Hoonah, Alaska, United States and Wendover Airport (ENV), Wendover, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,524 miles (or 2,453 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 Hoonah Airport and Wendover Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Hoonah Airport is a state-owned public-use airport located one nautical mile southeast of the central business district of Hoonah, Alaska.
• The closest airport to Hoonah Airport (HNH) is Funter Bay Seaplane Base (FNR), which is located 22 miles (35 kilometers) ENE of HNH.
