Nonstop flight route between Marysville, California, United States and Changi, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Beale Air Force Base (BAB), Marysville, California, United States and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Changi, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 8,426 miles (or 13,561 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 Beale Air Force Base and Singapore Changi 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 Beale Air Force Base and Singapore Changi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) has 3 runways.
• Concerned that the existing airport was located in an area with potential for urban growth, which would physically hem it in on all sides, the government subsequently decided in 1975 to build a new airport at the eastern tip of the main island at Changi, at the existing site of Changi Air Base, where the new airport would be easily expandable through land reclamation.
• Changi Airport has two parallel runways, 02L/20R and 02C/20C, each 4,000 by 60 m.
