About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Alert Airport (YLT), Alert, Nunavut, Canada and Hunt Field (LND), Lander, Wyoming, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,922 miles (or 4,703 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 Alert Airport and Hunt Field, 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 Alert Airport and Hunt Field. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

- Alert Airport (YLT) currently has only 1 runway.
- The airport's fire and rescue operations are supported by a 2012 KME/Fort Garry Fire Truck ARFF.
- Because of Alert Airport's relatively low elevation of 100 feet, planes can take off or land at Alert 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 Alert Airport (YLT) is Eureka Aerodrome (YEU), which is located 299 miles (481 kilometers) WSW of YLT.
Facts about Hunt Field (LND):
