In less time than it would take to microwave a bag of popcorn, you could watch the world's shortest flight.

The route that takes that honor is the trip between Westray and Papa Westray in Scotland's Orkney Islands, which can take as few as 47 seconds to complete, reports the Telegraph.

A bidding war over the route was recently settled, with the contract being awarded to Scottish airline Loganair, its current operator, according to the Daily Mail.

The paper adds that about 30 percent of the service's passengers are associated with the Orkney Islands Council's education service, while many others are health staff and patients of the Scottish National Health Service. Loganair, which has flown the route since the 1960s, introduced a popular flight for tourists in 2011.
