Nonstop flight route between Sedona, Arizona, United States and Brussels, Belgium:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Sedona Airport (SDX), Sedona, Arizona, United States and Brussels Airport (BRU), Brussels, Belgium would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,363 miles (or 8,631 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 Sedona Airport and Brussels 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 Sedona Airport and Brussels Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Sedona Airport (SDX):

• In addition to being known as "Sedona Airport", another name for SDX is "SEZ".
• The airport was inaugurated in 1955.
• Because of Sedona Airport's high elevation of 4,830 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at SDX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make SDX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Sedona Airport (SDX) is Sir Gaëtan Duval Airport (RRG), which is located 11,353 miles (18,270 kilometers) away in Rodrigues Island, Mauritius.
