| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basra International Airport | BSR | 18 km (11 mi) | 13,124 ft | 11 ft |
| Abadan Ayatollah Jami International Airport | ABD | 51 km (32 mi) | 10,169 ft | 10 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.
