About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bornholm Airport (RNN), Rønne, Denmark and Challis Airport (CHL), Challis, Idaho, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,937 miles (or 7,946 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 Bornholm Airport and Challis 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 Bornholm Airport and Challis Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The furthest airport from Bornholm Airport (RNN) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,513 miles (18,528 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
- Because of Bornholm Airport's relatively low elevation of 52 feet, planes can take off or land at Bornholm 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 closest airport to Bornholm Airport (RNN) is Malmö Airport (MMX), which is located 63 miles (102 kilometers) WNW of RNN.
- In addition to being known as "Bornholm Airport", another name for RNN is "Bornholms Lufthavn".
