Nonstop flight route between Lamidanda, Nepal and Launceston, Tasmania, Australia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Lamidanda Airport (LDN), Lamidanda, Nepal and Launceston Airport (LST), Launceston, Tasmania, Australia would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,125 miles (or 9,858 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 Lamidanda Airport and Launceston 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 Lamidanda Airport and Launceston Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Lamidanda Airport (LDN):

• The airport resides at an elevation of 4,100 feet above mean sea level.
• The closest airport to Lamidanda Airport (LDN) is Rumjatar Airport (RUM), which is located only 8 miles (13 kilometers) WNW of LDN.
• Because of Lamidanda Airport's high elevation of 4,100 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LDN. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LDN a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• In addition to being known as "Lamidanda Airport", another name for LDN is "Lamidanda".
• The furthest airport from Lamidanda Airport (LDN) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,449 miles (18,425 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
