Nonstop flight route between New York City, New York, United States and Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between New York Skyports Inc. Seaplane Base (QNY), New York City, New York, United States and 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown, (YCX), Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 517 miles (or 832 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 New York Skyports Inc. Seaplane Base and 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown,, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
