Distance and flight time from Lome to Singapore
The great-circle distance between Lome and Singapore is 11,384 km (7,074 mi, 6,147 nautical miles). By private jet the flight takes between 13h 52m and 31h 09m block time depending on the aircraft class. For most travellers an ultra-long-range jet fits: it covers the route nonstop in about 13h 52m.
- Light jet: 22h 31m (with 4 fuel stops)
- Midsize jet: 19h 54m (with 3 fuel stops)
- Super midsize jet: 17h 39m (with 2 fuel stops)
- Heavy jet: 15h 59m (with one fuel stop)
- Ultra long range jet: 13h 52m (nonstop)
Empty legs and aircraft on the Lome – Singapore route
Over the last 18 months we recorded 4 empty legs from Lome to Singapore. The most frequent aircraft were Gulfstream G550. Most flights operate from Lome-Tokoin Airport (DXXX) to Seletar Airport (WSSL).
Range and fuel stops
Not every jet can fly every route nonstop. With reserves, light jets reach about 2,800 km, super midsize jets around 5,500 km and ultra long range jets more than 11,000 km. If the destination is further away, the operator plans a fuel stop of roughly 45 minutes.
For transatlantic flights or routes to Asia the larger class often pays off: it costs more per hour but saves stops and therefore time.
- Turboprop / PC-12: up to approx. 2,200–2,800 km
- Light jet: up to approx. 2,800 km
- Midsize jet: up to approx. 3,700 km
- Super midsize jet: up to approx. 5,500 km
- Heavy jet: up to approx. 7,000 km
- Ultra long range: 11,000 km and more
Calculating the distance between airports
We calculate distance as the great-circle distance (the shortest path over the globe) and also show it in nautical miles, the standard unit in aviation. Because aircraft follow airways and approach procedures, the distance actually flown is slightly longer; the flight time already includes this.
How we calculate
- Distance: great-circle calculation from both airports’ coordinates, plus 5% for airways and approach procedures.
- Flight time: distance flown divided by the class’s typical cruise speed, plus 15 minutes for climb and descent and 10 minutes of taxi per take-off and landing.
- Fuel stops: added once the route exceeds practical range with reserves, 45 minutes on the ground per stop.
- Wind is not included. Strong headwinds (typically westbound across the Atlantic) can add 10–15% to flight time; tailwinds shorten it.
Frequently asked questions
How far is it from Lome to Singapore?
The great-circle distance is 11,384 km (7,074 mi) or 6,147 nautical miles. The distance flown is about 5% longer because of airways.
How long is the flight from Lome to Singapore?
By private jet about 13h 52m in an ultra-long-range jet. A typical airliner flying nonstop takes about 15h 04m gate to gate. Wind and air traffic control can change this by a few minutes.
Can a light jet fly Lome – Singapore nonstop?
No, a light jet would need 4 fuel stops and about 22h 31m in total. Nonstop flights start with an ultra-long-range jet (13h 52m).
How much is a private jet from Lome to Singapore?
A one-way charter in an ultra-long-range jet costs roughly €216,500 to €419,000 for the whole aircraft. Empty legs are often much cheaper.
