Nonstop flight route between Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Provo, Utah, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany and Provo Municipal Airport (PVU), Provo, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,233 miles (or 8,422 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Provo Municipal 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 Berlin Tegel Airport and Provo Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL):

• Because of Berlin Tegel Airport's relatively low elevation of 122 feet, planes can take off or land at Berlin Tegel 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.
• In addition to being known as "Berlin Tegel Airport", another name for TXL is "Flughafen Berlin-Tegel".
• From late 1979, Pan Am began updating its Berlin fleet.

• Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) has 2 runways.
• Because of Provo Municipal Airport's high elevation of 4,497 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at PVU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make PVU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
