About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Chilas Airport (CHB), Chilas, Pakistan and Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 3,024 miles (or 4,867 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 Chilas Airport and Tengah Air Base (TAB), 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 Chilas Airport and Tengah Air Base (TAB). You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Chilas Airport (CHB):
- The closest airport to Chilas Airport (CHB) is Gilgit Airport (GIL), which is located 37 miles (59 kilometers) NNE of CHB.
 - The furthest airport from Chilas Airport (CHB) is Mataveri International Airport (IPC), which is located 11,830 miles (19,038 kilometers) away in Easter Island, Chile.
 - Because of Chilas Airport's high elevation of 4,150 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at CHB. Combined with a high temperature, this could make CHB a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
 - Chilas Airport (CHB) currently has only 1 runway.
 
Facts about Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA):
- Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA) has 3 runways.
 - In addition to being known as "Tengah Air Base (TAB)", other names for TGA include "登加空军基地" and "Pangkalan Udara Tengah".

 - Because of Tengah Air Base (TAB)'s relatively low elevation of 50 feet, planes can take off or land at Tengah Air Base (TAB) at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
