Nonstop flight route between Glen Canyon, Utah, United States and Tegel / Berlin, Germany:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bullfrog Basin Airport (BFG), Glen Canyon, Utah, United States and Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL), Tegel / Berlin, Germany would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,363 miles (or 8,631 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 Bullfrog Basin Airport and Berlin Tegel 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 Bullfrog Basin Airport and Berlin Tegel Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Bullfrog Basin Airport's high elevation of 4,167 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BFG. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BFG a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Bullfrog Basin Airport (BFG) is Page Municipal Airport (PGA), which is located 59 miles (95 kilometers) SW of BFG.
• Bullfrog Basin Airport (BFG) currently has only 1 runway.
