About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France and Greymouth Airport (GMN), Greymouth, New Zealand would travel a Great Circle distance of 11,637 miles (or 18,728 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 Megève Aerodrome and Greymouth 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 Megève Aerodrome and Greymouth Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Megève Aerodrome (MVV):
- In addition to being known as "Megève Aerodrome", another name for MVV is "Altiport de Megève".
- Megève Aerodrome (MVV) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The furthest airport from Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Megève Aerodrome (meaning Megève Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,231 miles (19,683 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
