Nonstop flight route between Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh, India and Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tezu Airport (TEI), Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh, India and Kuching International Airport (KCH), Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,993 miles (or 3,207 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 Tezu Airport and Kuching International Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.
