About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Repulse Bay Airport (YUT), Repulse Bay, Nunavut, Canada and Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY), Daocheng, Sichuan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,806 miles (or 9,344 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 Repulse Bay Airport and Daocheng Yading 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 Repulse Bay Airport and Daocheng Yading Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Repulse Bay Airport (YUT):

  • Because of Repulse Bay Airport's relatively low elevation of 75 feet, planes can take off or land at Repulse Bay 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.
  • The closest airport to Repulse Bay Airport (YUT) is Kugaaruk Airport (YBB), which is located 168 miles (271 kilometers) NNW of YUT.
  • Repulse Bay Airport (YUT) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Repulse Bay Airport (YUT) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 10,050 miles (16,173 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.

Facts about Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY):

  • At 4,411 m above sea level, Daocheng Yading is the world's highest civilian airport, surpassing the previous record holder Qamdo Bamda Airport, in Tibet, at 4,334 m.
  • Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Daocheng Yading Airport has a single runway that is 4,200 m long and 45 m wide.

  • The furthest airport from Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY) is La Florida Airport (LSC), which is located 11,910 miles (19,167 kilometers) away in La Serena, Chile.
  • Because of Daocheng Yading Airport's high elevation of 14,472 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at DCY. Combined with a high temperature, this could make DCY a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Construction started after the airport was approved in April 2011, with a total investment of 1.58 billion yuan.
