A direct, nonstop flight between L.F. Wade International Airport (BDA), Ferry Reach (near Hamilton), Bermuda and Northeastern Regional Airport (EDE), Edenton, North Carolina, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 724 miles (or 1,166 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 L.F. Wade International Airport and Northeastern Regional Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
The former NATO hangar built in the early 1990s is now used for the airport's growing corporate jet traffic.
In 2006, the airport handled almost one million passengers and had 258 airline flight arrivals and departures weekly during the peak June – August summer season.
A small portion of the south-east corner of the airport was transformed in the 1990s into Bermuda Motorsports Park.
Northeastern Regional Airport is a public use airport in Chowan County, North Carolina, United States.
Northeastern Regional Airport covers an area of 734 acres at an elevation of 20 feet above mean sea level.
