About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Tioman Airport (TOD), Tioman Island, Malaysia and Lhasa Gonggar Airport (LXA), Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China would travel a Great Circle distance of 2,026 miles (or 3,260 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 Tioman Airport and Lhasa Gonggar Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

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.
- In addition to being known as "Tioman Airport", another name for TOD is "Lapangan Terbang Tioman".
