About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tioman Airport (TOD), Tioman Island, Malaysia and Mendi Airport (MDU), Mendi, Papua New Guinea would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,795 miles (or 4,497 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 Tioman Airport and Mendi 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 Tioman Airport and Mendi Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

Facts about Tioman Airport (TOD):
- The furthest airport from Tioman Airport (TOD) is Col. Edmundo Carvajal Airport (XMS), which is nearly antipodal to Tioman Airport (meaning Tioman Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Col. Edmundo Carvajal Airport), and is located 12,275 miles (19,755 kilometers) away in Macas, Ecuador.
- Because of Tioman Airport's relatively low elevation of 13 feet, planes can take off or land at Tioman 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.
- Tioman Airport (TOD) currently has only 1 runway.
- The closest airport to Tioman Airport (TOD) is Mersing Airport (MEP), which is located 37 miles (59 kilometers) SW of TOD.
- Tioman Airport handled 60,141 passengers last year.

Facts about Mendi Airport (MDU):
- The furthest airport from Mendi Airport (MDU) is Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport (FOR), which is located 11,735 miles (18,885 kilometers) away in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
- Mendi Airport (MDU) currently has only 1 runway.
- Because of Mendi Airport's high elevation of 5,680 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at MDU. Combined with a high temperature, this could make MDU a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
- The closest airport to Mendi Airport (MDU) is Moro Airport (MXH), which is located 32 miles (52 kilometers) WSW of MDU.
