About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Skypark Airport (BTF), Bountiful, Utah, United States and Scatsta Airport (SCS), Shetland Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,425 miles (or 7,122 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 Scatsta 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 Scatsta Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Skypark Airport (BTF):
- 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.
- 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.
- Skypark Airport is a public use airport located three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Bountiful, a city in Davis County, Utah, United States.
- 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.
