Nonstop flight route between Huntington, West Virginia, United States and Denver, Colorado, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tri-State Airport (HTS), Huntington, West Virginia, United States and Denver International Airport (DEN), Denver, Colorado, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,187 miles (or 1,910 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 Tri-State Airport and Denver International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• The airport covers 1,300 acres at an elevation of 828 feet above mean sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Tri-State Airport", another name for HTS is "Milton J. Ferguson Field".
• The closest airport to Tri-State Airport (HTS) is Lawrence County Airpark (HTW), which is located only 5 miles (8 kilometers) NE of HTS.

• The furthest airport from Tri-State Airport (HTS) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,407 miles (18,358 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
• Because of Tri-State Airport's relatively low elevation of 828 feet, planes can take off or land at Tri-State 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.
• Tri-State Airport is a public airport in Wayne County, West Virginia, United States.

Facts about Denver International Airport (DEN):

• With the construction of DIA, Denver was determined to build an airport that could be easily expanded over the next 50 years to eliminate many of the problems that had plagued Stapleton International Airport.
• The furthest airport from Denver International Airport (DEN) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,877 miles (17,505 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

• Denver International Airport handled 52,556,359 passengers last year.
• On September 25, 1994, the airport hosted a fly-in that drew several hundred general aviation aircraft, providing pilots with a unique opportunity to operate in and out of the new airport, and to wander around on foot looking at the ground-side facilities—including the baggage system, which was still under testing.
• Between February and August 2008, construction of an on-site, two-megawattsolar energy system took place.
• The airport's computerized baggage system, which was supposed to reduce delays, shorten waiting times at luggage carousels, and cut airline labor costs, was an unmitigated failure.
• Because of Denver International Airport's high elevation of 5,431 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DEN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DEN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
