About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Polokwane International Airport (PTG), Polokwane, South Africa and Alluitsup Paa Heliport (LLU), Alluitsup Paa, Greenland would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,158 miles (or 11,520 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 Polokwane International Airport and Alluitsup Paa Heliport, 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 Polokwane International Airport and Alluitsup Paa Heliport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

  • The closest airport to Polokwane International Airport (PTG) is Air Force Base Hoedspruit (HDS), which is located 106 miles (171 kilometers) ESE of PTG.
  • The furthest airport from Polokwane International Airport (PTG) is Hilo International Airport (ITO), which is nearly antipodal to Polokwane International Airport (meaning Polokwane International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Hilo International Airport), and is located 12,031 miles (19,362 kilometers) away in Hilo, Hawaii, United States.
  • In addition to being known as "Polokwane International Airport", another name for PTG is "Gateway International Airport".
  • Because of Polokwane International Airport's high elevation of 4,076 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PTG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PTG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.

  • 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.
  • 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.
