Nonstop flight route between Tengah, Singapore and Dali, Yunnan, China:

About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore and Dali Airport (DLU), Dali, Yunnan, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,692 miles (or 2,722 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Dali Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

Facts about Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA):

• The RAF station closed at the end of March 1971 and Tengah was handed over to the Singapore Air Defence Command by 1973, after the British pullout.
• 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.
• The furthest airport from Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA) is Francisco de Orellana Airport (OCC), which is nearly antipodal to Tengah Air Base (TAB) (meaning Tengah Air Base (TAB) is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Francisco de Orellana Airport), and is located 12,357 miles (19,886 kilometers) away in Coca, Ecuador.
