Nonstop flight route between Alluitsup Paa, Greenland and Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Alluitsup Paa Heliport (LLU), Alluitsup Paa, Greenland and Cheyenne Regional Airport (CYS), Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,786 miles (or 4,484 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 Alluitsup Paa Heliport and Cheyenne Regional 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 Alluitsup Paa Heliport and Cheyenne Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Alluitsup Paa Heliport's relatively low elevation of 89 feet, planes can take off or land at Alluitsup Paa Heliport 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 furthest airport from Alluitsup Paa Heliport (LLU) is Hobart International Airport (HBA), which is located 11,102 miles (17,866 kilometers) away in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
