Nonstop flight route between Longyan, Fujian, China and Changi, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Longyan Guanzhishan Airport (LCX), Longyan, Fujian, China and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Changi, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,882 miles (or 3,030 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 Longyan Guanzhishan Airport and Singapore Changi Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Singapore Changi Airport (SIN):

• 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.
• Given limited land resources in Singapore, the airport was designed for both current and future needs as the country's primary airport.
• Changing needs in the aviation industry led to reviews in the master plan, resulting in the decision to cater to the high-end as well as budget sectors of the air travel industry.

• Resurfacing works costing S$50m on its dual runways and older taxiways were announced in January 2007 along with improvements to the security systems of Changi Airport such as access controls and surveillance systems to make the airport safer for travellers.
