Nonstop flight route between Masamba, Indonesia and Changi, Singapore:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Andi Jemma Airport (MXB), Masamba, Indonesia and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Changi, Singapore would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,161 miles (or 1,868 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 Andi Jemma Airport and Singapore Changi Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Andi Jemma Airport (MXB):

• Because of Andi Jemma Airport's relatively low elevation of 180 feet, planes can take off or land at Andi Jemma 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.
• Andi Jemma Airport (MXB) currently has only 1 runway.
• In addition to being known as "Andi Jemma Airport", another name for MXB is "Bandara Andi Jemma".
• The furthest airport from Andi Jemma Airport (MXB) is Lethem Airport (LTM), which is nearly antipodal to Andi Jemma Airport (meaning Andi Jemma Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Lethem Airport), and is located 12,380 miles (19,924 kilometers) away in Lethem, Guyana.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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)".

• 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.
• 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.
