Nonstop flight route between Colón, Panama and Bountiful, Utah, United States:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (ONX), Colón, Panama and Skypark Airport (BTF), Bountiful, Utah, United States would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,928 miles (or 4,712 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 Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport and Skypark 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 Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport and Skypark Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (ONX):

• Initially garrisoned at Ancon, the 7th Aero Squadron was organized on 29 March 1917 with 51 officers and men.
• During the 1930s, France Field was modernized and the facilities upgraded over the decade and the number of assigned units increased as world tensions heightened.
• During the early 1920s, France Field was expanded, as the defense of the Panama Canal was the major overseas concern of the Air Service.
• Because of Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport's relatively low elevation of 26 feet, planes can take off or land at Enrique Adolfo Jiménez 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.
• With the end of World War II France Airfield was reduced in scope, with most units being moved to Albrook or Howard Fields.
• The closest airport to Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (ONX) is Albrook "Marcos A. Gelabert" International Airport (PAC), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) SE of ONX.
• The furthest airport from Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (ONX) is Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport (CCK), which is nearly antipodal to Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (meaning Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Cocos (Keeling) Island Airport), and is located 12,139 miles (19,536 kilometers) away in Cocos Islands, Australia.
• Enrique Adolfo Jiménez Airport (ONX) 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.
