Nonstop flight route between Kerio Valley, Kenya and Changi, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kimwarer Airport (KRV), Kerio Valley, Kenya and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Changi, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 4,721 miles (or 7,597 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 Kimwarer Airport 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 Kimwarer Airport and Singapore Changi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Kimwarer Airport (KRV):

• Kimwarer Airport is an airport in Kenya.
• The closest airport to Kimwarer Airport (KRV) is Eldoret International Airport (EDL), which is located 30 miles (48 kilometers) W of KRV.
• In addition to being known as "Kimwarer Airport", other names for KRV include "Nakuru Airport" and "Kimwarer".
• Because of Kimwarer Airport's high elevation of 4,701 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at KRV. Combined with a high temperature, this could make KRV a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
• The furthest airport from Kimwarer Airport (KRV) is Atuona Airport (AUQ), which is located 11,688 miles (18,811 kilometers) away in Atuona, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
• Kimwarer Airport (KRV) currently has only 1 runway.
• Kimwarer Airport is a small civilian airport, serving the village of Kimwarer and surrounding communities.
• Kimwarer Airport is located in Keiyo District, Rift Valley Province, in the village of Kimwarer, in the southwestern part of Kenya on the map.

Facts about Singapore Changi Airport (SIN):

• Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) has 3 runways.
• The furthest airport from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is Francisco de Orellana Airport (OCC), which is nearly antipodal to Singapore Changi Airport (meaning Singapore Changi Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Francisco de Orellana Airport), and is located 12,345 miles (19,868 kilometers) away in Coca, Ecuador.
• 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.
• The closest airport to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) (QPG), which is located only 6 miles (9 kilometers) W of SIN.
• In addition to being known as "Singapore Changi Airport", other names for SIN include "Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Changi Singapura", "新加坡樟宜机场(Xīnjiāpō Zhāngyí Jīchǎng)" and "சிங்கப்பூர் சாங்கி விமானநிலையம் (Ciṅkappūr Cāṅki Vimana Nilaiyam)".
• Given limited land resources in Singapore, the airport was designed for both current and future needs as the country's primary airport.
• Because of Singapore Changi Airport's relatively low elevation of 22 feet, planes can take off or land at Singapore Changi Airport 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.
• Even as new terminals are being built, the airport continuously upgrades and expands its existing terminals.
