Airports at each end
Leaving Kumba
Kumba is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Douala International Airport (DLA), 76 km (47 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,350 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Singapore
Singapore is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 13,123-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Hang Nadim International Airport (BTH, 35 km), Senai International Airport (JHB, 44 km), Seletar Airport (XSP, 14 km), Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport (TNJ, 86 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Changi Airport | SIN | 17 km (11 mi) | 13,123 ft | 22 ft |
| Hang Nadim International Airport | BTH | 35 km (22 mi) | 13,218 ft | 126 ft |
| Senai International Airport | JHB | 44 km (27 mi) | 12,467 ft | 135 ft |
| Seletar Airport (regional) | XSP | 14 km (9 mi) | 6,023 ft | 36 ft |
| Raja Haji Fisabilillah International Airport (regional) | TNJ | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,380 ft | 52 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,484 km (6,514 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
