Is there any reason why most trans Atlantic flights from London to the USA fly over northern Scotland instead of due west over the Republic of Ireland during the flight?
It is the shortest route. Despite what it may look on a map, try it on a globe. If you put one end of string on London and the other on your destination, you will get the actual shortest or 'great circle' route. Even the ones that fly across Ireland are flying northwest, not west, and heading across the north Atlantic, on a similar route to those that go over Scotland. No flights go due west from London to the USA, as it would be a longer way to go.
