Nonstop flight route between Bountiful, Utah, United States and Nadi, Fiji:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Skypark Airport (BTF), Bountiful, Utah, United States and Nadi International Airport (NAN), Nadi, Fiji would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,063 miles (or 9,757 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 Skypark Airport and Nadi International 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 Skypark Airport and Nadi International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Skypark Airport (BTF):

• The furthest airport from Skypark Airport (BTF) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 10,952 miles (17,625 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
• Skypark Airport (BTF) currently has only 1 runway.
• Because of Skypark Airport's high elevation of 4,234 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BTF. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BTF a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The closest airport to Skypark Airport (BTF) is Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), which is located only 6 miles (10 kilometers) SSW of BTF.
• Skypark Airport covers an area of 35 acres at an elevation of 4,234 feet above mean sea level.

• Today, the largest concentration of hotels in Fiji has grown up in and around Nadi.
• Because of Nadi International Airport's relatively low elevation of 59 feet, planes can take off or land at Nadi International 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.
• Then, as now, Fiji was the crossroads of the Pacific – and in those days was even more important as a refuelling stop.
