About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Riga International Airport (RIX), Riga, Latvia and Courchevel Airport (CVF), Courchevel, France would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,089 miles (or 1,752 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 Riga International Airport and Courchevel Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Riga International Airport (RIX):

  • Because of Riga International Airport's relatively low elevation of 36 feet, planes can take off or land at Riga International 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 furthest airport from Riga International Airport (RIX) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,169 miles (17,975 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • Riga International Airport (RIX) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In addition to being known as "Riga International Airport", another name for RIX is "Starptautiskā lidosta “Rīga”".
  • The closest airport to Riga International Airport (RIX) is Šiauliai International Airport (SQQ), which is located 74 miles (120 kilometers) SSW of RIX.
  • In 2006, the new north terminal extension was opened.

Facts about Courchevel Airport (CVF):

  • In addition to being known as "Courchevel Airport", another name for CVF is "Aérodrome de Courchevel".
  • The closest airport to Courchevel Airport (CVF) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located only 3 miles (5 kilometers) WNW of CVF.
  • Courchevel Airport (CVF) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Courchevel Airport (CVF) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Courchevel Airport (meaning Courchevel Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,249 miles (19,713 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
  • Because of Courchevel Airport's high elevation of 6,588 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CVF. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CVF a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
