Nonstop flight route between Aix-en-Provence / Les Milles, France and Chachapoyas, Peru:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome (QXB), Aix-en-Provence / Les Milles, France and Chachapoyas Airport (CHH), Chachapoyas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,176 miles (or 9,939 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 Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome and Chachapoyas 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 Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome and Chachapoyas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome's relatively low elevation of 368 feet, planes can take off or land at Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome 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 furthest airport from Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome (QXB) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome (meaning Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,343 miles (19,864 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
• Aix-en-Provence Aerodrome (QXB) currently has only 1 runway.
