About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Méribel Airport (MFX), Meribel, France and La Grande Rivière Airport (YGL), Radisson, Quebec, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,597 miles (or 5,789 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 Méribel Airport and La Grande Rivière 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 Méribel Airport and La Grande Rivière Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Méribel Airport (MFX):

  • In addition to being known as "Méribel Airport", another name for MFX is "Aéroport de Méribel".
  • Méribel Airport (MFX) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Méribel Airport's high elevation of 5,633 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MFX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MFX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • The furthest airport from Méribel Airport (MFX) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Méribel Airport (meaning Méribel Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,251 miles (19,716 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • The closest airport to Méribel Airport (MFX) is Courchevel Airport (CVF), which is located only 3 miles (5 kilometers) ESE of MFX.

  • The closest airport to La Grande Rivière Airport (YGL) is Chisasibi Airport (YKU), which is located 51 miles (82 kilometers) WNW of YGL.

  • The furthest airport from La Grande Rivière Airport (YGL) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 10,942 miles (17,610 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
