Flight Path
The flight path crosses central Africa over the Congo Basin (dense tropical forest, limited visibility of ground features), then transitions over the Indian Ocean with scattered cloud formations. Approaching Southeast Asia, the Malay Peninsula's interior highlands become visible, followed by the coastal plains and river deltas of Peninsular Malaysia. The Strait of Malacca and Singapore Strait regions show significant shipping traffic and coastal development.
