| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Langkawi International Airport | LGK | 74 km (46 mi) | 12,500 ft | 29 ft |
| Hat Yai International Airport | HDY | 90 km (56 mi) | 10,007 ft | 90 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,500 ft, LGK can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 29 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
