Nonstop flight route between Merowe, Sudan and Tengah, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Merowe Airport (MWE), Merowe, Sudan and Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 5,001 miles (or 8,049 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 Merowe Airport and Tengah Air Base (TAB), 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 Merowe Airport and Tengah Air Base (TAB). You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

• Because of Tengah Air Base (TAB)'s relatively low elevation of 50 feet, planes can take off or land at Tengah Air Base (TAB) 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.
