Nonstop flight route between Huế, Thừa Thiên–Huế, Vietnam and Tengah, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Phu Bai International Airport (HUI), Huế, Thừa Thiên–Huế, Vietnam and Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,072 miles (or 1,726 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 relatively short distance between Phu Bai International Airport and Tengah Air Base (TAB), the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
