Nonstop flight route between Metro Manila, Philippines and Dschang, Cameroon:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), Metro Manila, Philippines and Dschang Airport (DSC), Dschang, Cameroon would travel a Great Circle distance of 7,511 miles (or 12,088 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 Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Dschang 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 Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Dschang Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
• In addition to being known as "Ninoy Aquino International Airport", another name for MNL is "Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Ninoy Aquino".
• The Philippine government has made a new plan where Terminal 3 would be 100% operational by the end of 2011, but lowered their goal to 55% operational after further study.
• The closest airport to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) is Major Danilo Atienza Air Base (SGL), which is located only 8 miles (14 kilometers) W of MNL.
