About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Monroe County Airport (BMG), Bloomington, Indiana, United States and Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Edinburgh, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,797 miles (or 6,111 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 Monroe County Airport and Edinburgh 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 Monroe County Airport and Edinburgh Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Monroe County Airport (BMG):

  • The furthest airport from Monroe County Airport (BMG) is Margaret River Airport (MGV), which is located 11,182 miles (17,996 kilometers) away in Margaret River, Western Australia, Australia.
  • As constructed, the original runway was 5,200 feet but was later lengthened to 6,500 feet permitting the operation of Boeing 727 aircraft.
  • Because of Monroe County Airport's relatively low elevation of 846 feet, planes can take off or land at Monroe County 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.
  • Monroe County Airport (BMG) has 2 runways.
  • The closest airport to Monroe County Airport (BMG) is Virgil I. Grissom Municipal Airport (BFR), which is located 23 miles (37 kilometers) SSE of BMG.

Facts about Edinburgh Airport (EDI):

  • There are currently no direct rail links to Edinburgh Airport, although it lies very close to the Fife Circle and the Edinburgh-Glasgow railway lines.
  • Because of Edinburgh Airport's relatively low elevation of 136 feet, planes can take off or land at Edinburgh 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.
  • On 27 February 2001, a Loganair Shorts 360 operating a Royal Mail flight to Belfast, crashed into the Firth of Forth shortly after taking off from Edinburgh at 1730 GMT.
  • Edinburgh Airport handled 9,775,443 passengers last year.
  • Edinburgh Airport (EDI) has 2 runways.
  • Although the original main runway 13/31 served the airport well, its alignment had the disadvantage of suffering from severe crosswinds and the other two minor runways were very short and could not be readily extended, so movements were transferred to a new runway in an addition completely outside the original airfield boundary.
  • In 1971 the British Airports Authority took over the airport and immediately started to expand it by constructing a new runway and terminal building.
  • The closest airport to Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Perth Airport (PSL), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) N of EDI.
