Nonstop flight route between Khorramabad, Iran and Kulusuk, Greenland:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Khorramabad Airport (KHD), Khorramabad, Iran and Kulusuk Airport (KUS), Kulusuk, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,010 miles (or 6,454 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 Khorramabad Airport and Kulusuk Airport, 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 Khorramabad Airport and Kulusuk Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• In addition to being known as "Kulusuk Airport", another name for KUS is "Mittarfik Kulusuk".

• 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.

• 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.
• The waiting hall is not sufficient to accommodate all passengers, resulting in a pre-boarding chaos.
• 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.
