About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France and Plymouth City Airport (PLH), Plymouth, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 588 miles (or 947 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 Megève Aerodrome and Plymouth City Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Megève Aerodrome (MVV):

  • The closest airport to Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) S of MVV.
  • 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.
  • In addition to being known as "Megève Aerodrome", another name for MVV is "Altiport de Megève".
