Flights to Al Qurnah
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Al Qurnah is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Basra International Airport (BSR), 56 km (35 mi) from the centre, whose 13,124-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basra International Airport | BSR | 56 km (35 mi) | 13,124 ft | 11 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,124 ft, BSR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 11 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
