About this route:

A direct, nonstop flight between Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA), Tengah, Singapore and Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX), Latacunga, Ecuador would travel a Great Circle distance of 12,273 miles (or 19,751 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Cotopaxi International 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 Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Cotopaxi International Airport. You'll see that it will travel the same route of the red line on this map!

The distance between TGA and LTX makes them almost exactly antipodal (the exact opposite side of the world) to each other. Nonstop flights between Tengah Air Base (TAB) and Cotopaxi International Airport would be very impractical for the airlines, because only a lightly loaded Boeing 777-200LR would be able to make the trip. Since airlines need to be able to take as many people and cargo as possible in order to make a profit, the odds of ever seeing a nonstop flight between TGA and LTX are slim to none. However, you'll still be able to get from Tengah, Singapore and Latacunga, Ecuador by taking some connecting flights!

Did you know that one full circling of the Earth (measuring from the equator) is about 24,901.5 miles (or 40,075 kilometers), which means if you were 12,450 miles from any given point on the planet, the distance back to your starting point would be about the same -- in any direction! The same can be said for a nonstop flight between TGA and LTX!

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

  • In addition to being known as "Tengah Air Base (TAB)", other names for TGA include "登加空军基地" and "Pangkalan Udara Tengah".
  • 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 closest airport to Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA) is Seletar Airport (XSP), which is located only 11 miles (18 kilometers) E of TGA.
  • Bristol Blenheim Mk Is of No.
  • As a show of force to deter the Indonesian President Sukarno from launching an all-out war during this period, the RAF also deployed a V bomber force detachment to Tengah in the form of Handley Page Victor B.1A bombers from 15 Squadron in August 1963, which was rotated with those dispersed to RAAF Butterworth in Malaysia.
  • Tengah Air Base (TAB) (TGA) has 3 runways.
  • 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.
  • RSAF 111Sqn's E-2C Hawkeye

Facts about Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX):

  • Because of Cotopaxi International Airport's high elevation of 9,205 feet, planes must typically fly at a faster airspeed in order to takeoff or land at LTX. Combined with a high temperature, this could make LTX a "Hot & High" airport, where the air density is lower than it would otherwise be at sea level.
  • Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX) currently has only 1 runway.
  • In addition to being known as "Cotopaxi International Airport", other names for LTX include "Aeropuerto Internacional Cotopaxi" and "SELT".

  • The furthest airport from Cotopaxi International Airport (LTX) is Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport (PKU), which is nearly antipodal to Cotopaxi International Airport (meaning Cotopaxi International Airport is almost on the exact opposite side of the Earth from Sultan Syarif Kasim II International Airport), and is located 12,406 miles (19,965 kilometers) away in Pekanbaru, Sumatra, Indonesia.
