Nonstop flight route between Repulse Bay, Nunavut, Canada and Lod (near Tel Aviv), Israel:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Repulse Bay Airport (YUT), Repulse Bay, Nunavut, Canada and Ben Gurion Airport (TLV), Lod (near Tel Aviv), Israel would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,964 miles (or 7,989 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 Ben Gurion 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 Ben Gurion Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Repulse Bay Airport (YUT) currently has only 1 runway.
• 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 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 Ben Gurion Airport (TLV):

• The airport began as an airstrip of four concrete runways on the outskirts of the town of Lydda.
• When it was originally built, the short runway was 1,780 m long, making it too short to accommodate most mainline passenger jets.
• The closest airport to Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Sde Dov Airport (SDV), which is located only 9 miles (15 kilometers) NW of TLV.
• The Airport City development, an office park, is located east of the main airport property.
• Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) has 3 runways.
• Work on Natbag 2000, as the Terminal 3 project was known, was scheduled for completion prior to 2000 in order to handle a massive influx of pilgrims expected for the Millennium celebrations.
• The furthest airport from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Rurutu Airport (RUR), which is located 11,672 miles (18,784 kilometers) away in Rurutu, French Polynesia.
• Because of Ben Gurion Airport's relatively low elevation of 134 feet, planes can take off or land at Ben Gurion 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.
• Prior to the opening of Terminal 3, Terminal 1 was the main terminal building at Ben Gurion Airport.
• The new terminal was built to serve over 10 million passengers per year.
• In addition to being known as "Ben Gurion Airport", another name for TLV is "נְמַל הַתְּעוּפָה בֵּן גּוּרְיוֹן".
• More buildings and runways were added over the years, but with the onset of mass immigration from Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union in the 1980s and 90s, as well as the global increase of international business travel, the existing facilities became painfully inadequate, prompting the design of new state-of-the-art terminal that could also accommodate the expected tourism influx for the 2000 millennium celebrations.
