Nonstop flight route between Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Laramie, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Perth Airport (PER), Perth, Western Australia, Australia and Laramie Regional Airport (LAR), Laramie, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 10,063 miles (or 16,195 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 Perth Airport and Laramie 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 Perth Airport and Laramie Regional Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• In November 1980, the Federal Transport Minister, Ralph Hunt, announced that a new international terminal would be built in Perth at a cost of A$26 million.
• Perth Airport handled 13,664,394 passengers last year.
• The closest airport to Perth Airport (PER) is Jandakot Airport (JAD), which is located only 12 miles (19 kilometers) SSW of PER.
• Towards the mid-1950s, airline travel was still only being used by a small percentage of the population.
• Full civilian operations at the Guildford Aerodrome commenced in 1944.
• Because of Perth Airport's relatively low elevation of 67 feet, planes can take off or land at Perth Airport 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 two domestic terminals are side by side and about 12 km from the Perth CBD, while the international terminal is 17 km from Perth.
• Upon completion, the terminal was able to process up to five Boeing 747 aircraft per hour and accommodated a peak passenger volume of 6,000 passengers per hour.
• Perth Airport (PER) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Perth Airport (PER) is L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), which is nearly antipodal to Perth Airport (meaning Perth Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from L.F. Wade International Airport), and is located 12,389 miles (19,938 kilometers) away in Ferry Reach (near Hamilton), Bermuda.

Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) has 2 runways.
• The furthest airport from Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,814 miles (17,404 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
