Nonstop flight route between Celle, Germany and Andahuaylas, Peru:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Celle Air Base (ZCN), Celle, Germany and Andahuaylas Airport (ANS), Andahuaylas, Peru would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,695 miles (or 10,775 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 Celle Air Base and Andahuaylas 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 Celle Air Base and Andahuaylas Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Celle Air Base (ZCN):

• After RAF Fassberg and RAF Wunstorf Celle became the third airfield in the region to serve in the airlift.
• Celle Air Base (ZCN) currently has only 1 runway.
• From 1959 until 1966, a US Air Force unit equipped with two MSQ-1A radar was stationed at Celle Air Base.
• In addition to being known as "Celle Air Base", other names for ZCN include "Heeresflugplatz Celle" and "(Advanced Landing Ground B-118)".
• The closest airport to Celle Air Base (ZCN) is Hannover Airport (HAJ), which is located only 17 miles (27 kilometers) WSW of ZCN.
• The furthest airport from Celle Air Base (ZCN) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is located 11,761 miles (18,928 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.
• In the course of time, the type of aircraft stationed at Celle became larger and larger and crews were trained on almost all current military aircraft.
• Because of Celle Air Base's relatively low elevation of 129 feet, planes can take off or land at Celle Air Base 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.
• Celle Air Base can be approached by way of a connecting road to the Landesstraße 310 which is used as a spur route to the motorways A 7 and A 352.

Facts about Andahuaylas Airport (ANS):

• Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) currently has only 1 runway.
• The closest airport to Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport (AYC), which is located 69 miles (111 kilometers) NW of ANS.
• The furthest airport from Andahuaylas Airport (ANS) is Ratanakiri Airport (RBE), which is nearly antipodal to Andahuaylas Airport (meaning Andahuaylas Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Ratanakiri Airport), and is located 12,414 miles (19,979 kilometers) away in Ratanakiri, Cambodia.
• Because of Andahuaylas Airport's high elevation of 11,300 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at ANS. Combined with a high temperature, this could make ANS a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
