About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tandil Airport (TDL), Tandil, Argentina and Valle Airport (VLE), Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,070 miles (or 9,768 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 Tandil Airport and Valle 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 Tandil Airport and Valle Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- In addition to being known as "Tandil Airport", another name for TDL is "Aeropuerto de Tandil".
- Because of Tandil Airport's relatively low elevation of 574 feet, planes can take off or land at Tandil 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.

- Because of Valle Airport's high elevation of 5,999 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at VLE. Combined with a high temperature, this could make VLE a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
