Flights to Atyrau
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Atyrau is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Atyrau International Airport (GUW), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atyrau International Airport | GUW | 5 km (3 mi) | 9,842 ft | -72 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, GUW handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at -72 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
