About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Bathpalathang Airport (BUT), Jakar, Bumthang, Bhutan and Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ), Astraksetra, Indonesia would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,424 miles (or 3,901 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 Bathpalathang Airport and Gunung Batin Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Bathpalathang Airport (BUT):
- Bathpalathang Airport (BUT) currently has only 1 runway.
- Both Drukair and Tashi Air conducted inaugural flights to Bathpalathang on 17 December 2011—coinciding with the national day of Bhutan.
- The closest airport to Bathpalathang Airport (BUT) is Paro International Airport (PBH), which is located 82 miles (132 kilometers) W of BUT.
- The furthest airport from Bathpalathang Airport (BUT) is La Florida Airport (LSC), which is located 11,332 miles (18,237 kilometers) away in La Serena, Chile.
- Airport construction at Bathpalathang met several delays, including soil instability under the runway, funding, labor and material shortages, and nearby river protection and diversion, each of which underpinned the ultimate success of any airport at the site.
- Because of Bathpalathang Airport's high elevation of 8,858 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at BUT. Combined with a high temperature, this could make BUT a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
Facts about Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ):
- The closest airport to Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ) is Radin Inten II Airport (RIA II) (TKG), which is located 43 miles (70 kilometers) S of AKQ.
- Because of Gunung Batin Airport's relatively low elevation of 87 feet, planes can take off or land at Gunung Batin 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.
- The furthest airport from Gunung Batin Airport (AKQ) is Santiago Vila Airport (GIR), which is nearly antipodal to Gunung Batin Airport (meaning Gunung Batin Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Santiago Vila Airport), and is located 12,413 miles (19,977 kilometers) away in Girardot, Colombia.
