Nonstop flight route between Sepang (near Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia and Daocheng, Sichuan, China:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), Sepang (near Kuala Lumpur), Malaysia and Daocheng Yading Airport (DCY), Daocheng, Sichuan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,840 miles (or 2,961 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 Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Daocheng Yading Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

• Because of Kuala Lumpur International Airport's relatively low elevation of 70 feet, planes can take off or land at Kuala Lumpur International 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.
• The LCCT was located on the opposite side of the apron from the Main Terminal Building, with close proximity to the air cargo area.
• Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) has 3 runways.
