About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Bristol Filton Airport (FZO), Filton, Bristol, United Kingdom and Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport (SLA), Salta, Salta Province, Argentina would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,502 miles (or 10,464 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 Bristol Filton Airport and Martín Miguel de Güemes 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 Bristol Filton Airport and Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Bristol Filton Airport (FZO):

  • Because of Bristol Filton Airport's relatively low elevation of 225 feet, planes can take off or land at Bristol Filton 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 re-armament programme from 1935 to the outbreak of WWII saw further expansion of the Bristol Aeroplane Company.
  • Filton's runway is one of the widest, at 91 m and is a considerable length at 2,467 m long, having been extended first for the maiden flight of the Bristol Brabazon airliner in 1949 and again in the late 1960s for Concorde.
  • The length of the runway and its closed-to-passengers status made it an ideal dispersion site for the nation's airborne nuclear deterrent during the Cold War.
  • In addition to being known as "Bristol Filton Airport", another name for FZO is "Filton Aerodrome".
  • In the early 1960s, a new Filton bypass was constructed, roughly parallel to the old one, and this later became part of the M5 motorway.
  • The closest airport to Bristol Filton Airport (FZO) is Bristol Airport (BRS), which is located only 11 miles (18 kilometers) SSW of FZO.
  • The three-bay Brabazon Hangar was built in the late 1940s under the direction of T.

Facts about Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport (SLA):

  • Because of Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport's high elevation of 4,075 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SLA.
