Nonstop flight route between A Coruña, Spain and Courchevel, France:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between A Coruña Airport (LCG), A Coruña, Spain and Courchevel Airport (CVF), Courchevel, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 755 miles (or 1,214 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 A Coruña Airport and Courchevel Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about A Coruña Airport (LCG):

• In addition to being known as "A Coruña Airport", another name for LCG is "Aeroporto da Coruña-Alvedro".
• Because of A Coruña Airport's relatively low elevation of 328 feet, planes can take off or land at A Coruña 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.
• The first airport was built on the Alvedro meseta in the municipality of Culleredo.
• On 11 September 1953, the Council of Ministers of Spain ordered the urgent construction of an airport to serve the city of A Coruña.
• A customs office was opened in 1979, and an air traffic control room was added in 1990.
