Nonstop flight route between Cartierville, Quebec, Canada and Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Cartierville Airport (YCV), Cartierville, Quebec, Canada and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,182 miles (or 6,731 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 Cartierville Airport and Apolo 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 Cartierville Airport and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• The furthest airport from Cartierville Airport (YCV) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,511 miles (18,524 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
• Because of Cartierville Airport's relatively low elevation of 120 feet, planes can take off or land at Cartierville 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.
• Among the aircraft test-flown there was the Canadair CL-84 "Dynavert" tilt-wing VTOL airplane.
• Cartierville Airport (YCV) has 3 runways.
• The closest airport to Cartierville Airport (YCV) is Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), which is located only 3 miles (5 kilometers) SSW of YCV.
• As the 10/28 runway's threshold was very close to Bois-Franc Boulevard, a traffic light was installed and automobile traffic was stopped by Air Traffic Control whenever a plane was about to take off from runway 28 or land on runway 10.
