About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Ushuaia International Airport (USH), Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and Raton Municipal Airport (RTN), Raton, New Mexico, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,682 miles (or 10,753 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 Ushuaia International Airport and Raton 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 Ushuaia International Airport and Raton Municipal Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- The closest airport to Ushuaia International Airport (USH) is Hermes Quijada International Airport (RGA), which is located 77 miles (123 kilometers) NNE of USH.
- Because of Ushuaia International Airport's relatively low elevation of 102 feet, planes can take off or land at Ushuaia 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.
