SK1417 distance and great-circle path
SK1417 covers 517 km, or 321 miles. That makes it a short-haul flight, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 409 by distance.
The plane leaves Copenhagen heading north. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the CPH-OSL route appears on a tracker map.
Why SK1417 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 1.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 443 km/h. An Airbus A320neo cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See why long flights take odd-looking routes.
Can the Airbus A320neo comfortably fly SK1417?
Not at all. At roughly 8% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A320neo. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A320neo.
What to know about SK1417
- Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.
- Flies far north: the real path runs much closer to the pole than a flat map suggests.
