About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Semporna Airport (SMM), Sabah, Malaysia and Mbarara Airport (MBQ), Mbarara, Uganda would travel a Great Circle distance of 6,083 miles (or 9,790 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 Semporna Airport and Mbarara 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 Semporna Airport and Mbarara Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Semporna Airport (SMM):

  • In addition to being known as "Semporna Airport", another name for SMM is "Lapangan Terbang Semporna".
  • Because of Semporna Airport's relatively low elevation of 60 feet, planes can take off or land at Semporna 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.
  • The closest airport to Semporna Airport (SMM) is Tawau Airport (TWU), which is located 34 miles (55 kilometers) WSW of SMM.
  • Semporna Airport (SMM) currently has only 1 runway.
  • The furthest airport from Semporna Airport (SMM) is Coari Airport (CIZ), which is nearly antipodal to Semporna Airport (meaning Semporna Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Coari Airport), and is located 12,316 miles (19,820 kilometers) away in Coari, Amazonas, Brazil.

Facts about Mbarara Airport (MBQ):

  • The closest airport to Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Kasese Airport (KSE), which is located 62 miles (100 kilometers) NNW of MBQ.
  • The furthest airport from Mbarara Airport (MBQ) is Cassidy International Airport (CXI), which is located 11,879 miles (19,117 kilometers) away in Christmas Island, Kiribati.
  • Mbarara Airport (MBQ) currently has only 1 runway.
  • Because of Mbarara Airport's high elevation of 4,600 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MBQ. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MBQ a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
