Nonstop flight route between Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States and Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Los Alamos Airport (LAM), Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States and General Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport (VER), Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,309 miles (or 2,107 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 Los Alamos Airport and General Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Los Alamos Airport (LAM):

• Los Alamos Airport (LAM) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Los Alamos Airport's high elevation of 7,171 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LAM. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAM a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Los Alamos Airport", another name for LAM is "Los Alamos County Airport".
• Because of the restricted airspace immediately to the south of the runway, and the noise-sensitive residential area just west of the runway, Los Alamos Airport employs a non-standard traffic pattern.
• The closest airport to Los Alamos Airport (LAM) is Ohkay Owingeh Airport (ESO), which is located only 16 miles (26 kilometers) NE of LAM.
• The furthest airport from Los Alamos Airport (LAM) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,157 miles (17,956 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.

Facts about General Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport (VER):

• The furthest airport from General Heriberto Jara Corona International Airport (VER) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is located 11,447 miles (18,422 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
