Singapore sits at 1.3521°N, 103.8198°E, while Muscat is located at 23.5880°N, 58.3829°E. The initial compass bearing from Singapore to Muscat is 301° (WNW), so a great-circle flight path leaves Singapore heading roughly WNW. Because the Earth is curved, the actual heading shifts gradually along the route — pilots and navigation systems update it continuously instead of holding a single fixed compass bearing.
The latitude difference is 22.24° and the longitude difference is 45.44°. Each degree of latitude represents about 111 km, which is one reason cross-latitude routes feel longer even when the map looks similar to east–west journeys.
The geographic midpoint between Singapore and Muscat is approximately 13.4799°N, 82.1438°E. This is the great-circle halfway position — the spot where you would be exactly 2,740 km from each city. On long-haul flights this point usually falls over open ocean or remote terrain, which is why in-flight maps often look "empty" mid-route.
