About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Megève Aerodrome (MVV), Megève, France and Berlin Schönefeld Airport (SXF), Berlin, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 549 miles (or 883 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 Megève Aerodrome and Berlin Schönefeld Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Megève Aerodrome (MVV):
- Megève Aerodrome (MVV) currently has only 1 runway.
- In addition to being known as "Megève Aerodrome", another name for MVV is "Altiport de Megève".
- Because of Megève Aerodrome's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MVV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MVV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Méribel Airport (MFX), which is located 29 miles (47 kilometers) S of MVV.
- The furthest airport from Megève Aerodrome (MVV) is Chatham Islands (CHT), which is nearly antipodal to Megève Aerodrome (meaning Megève Aerodrome is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Chatham Islands), and is located 12,231 miles (19,683 kilometers) away in Waitangi, Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

- Terminal D was opened in December 2005 due to rapidly growing passenger numbers.
- Because of Berlin Schönefeld Airport's relatively low elevation of 157 feet, planes can take off or land at Berlin Schönefeld 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.
