Nonstop flight route between Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada and Lander, Wyoming, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ), Enfield, Nova Scotia, Canada and Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,228 miles (or 3,586 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 relatively short distance between Halifax Stanfield International Airport and Hunt Field, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ):

• In December 2004, U.S.
• The airport, owned by Transport Canada since it was constructed, and operated since 2000 by the Halifax International Airport Authority, forms part of the National Airports System.
• Because of Halifax Stanfield International Airport's relatively low elevation of 477 feet, planes can take off or land at Halifax Stanfield 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.
• In 2010, extension of the taxiway system resulted in an increased airside area, thus creating space for several large hangars to be built.
• To honour the people of Gander and Halifax for their support during the operation, Lufthansa named a new Airbus A340-300 "Gander-Halifax" on May 16, 2002.
