Nonstop flight route between Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada and Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Sechelt Aerodrome (YHS), Sechelt, British Columbia, Canada and Apolo Airport (APB), Apolo, La Paz, Bolivia would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,571 miles (or 8,965 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 Sechelt Aerodrome 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 Sechelt Aerodrome and Apolo Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Apolo Airport's high elevation of 4,642 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at APB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make APB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
