Nonstop flight route between Changi, Singapore and Pokhara, Nepal:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Changi, Singapore and Pokhara Airport (PKR), Pokhara, Nepal would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,277 miles (or 3,665 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 Singapore Changi Airport and Pokhara Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Singapore Changi Airport (SIN):

• In 2013, the airport handled 53.1 million passengers, a 5% increase over the previous year.
• 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.
• To prepare for the arrival of the Airbus A380, the airport put into place modifications works costing S$60 million, which it has planned for since the late 1990s.
• 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.
