About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Charlottetown Airport (YYG), Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada and Laramie Regional Airport (LAR), Laramie, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,124 miles (or 3,418 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 Charlottetown Airport and Laramie Regional Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Charlottetown Airport (YYG):
- The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency.
- In December 1939 the city government offered the airport to the federal government for military use through the duration of World War II.
- Because of Charlottetown Airport's relatively low elevation of 159 feet, planes can take off or land at Charlottetown 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.
- On February 28, 1999 the Department of Transport transferred operational and financial responsibility for the Charlottetown Airport to the Charlottetown Airport Authority under a 60-year lease arrangement.
- The furthest airport from Charlottetown Airport (YYG) is Albany Airport (ALH), which is located 11,651 miles (18,751 kilometers) away in Albany, Western Australia, Australia.
- The closest airport to Charlottetown Airport (YYG) is Summerside Airport (YSU), which is located 36 miles (57 kilometers) WNW of YYG.
- In June 1938 the city government asked the Department of Transport to assist in the development of an expanded municipal airport.
- Several expansions were subsequently undertaken, including an enlarged civilian air terminal off the Brackley Point Road on the west side of the airfield, as well as a lengthening and realigning of what would become runway 03/21 during the 1960s-1970s to accommodate jet aircraft.

Facts about Laramie Regional Airport (LAR):
- The furthest airport from Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,814 miles (17,404 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
- Built in 1934, the airport was Brees Field until 1992, after United States Army general Herbert J.
- Because of Laramie Regional Airport's high elevation of 7,284 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LAR. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LAR a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- Laramie Regional Airport (LAR) has 2 runways.
- The airport covers 1,580 acres at an elevation of 7,284 feet.
