Batam is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hang Nadim International Airport (BTH), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 13,218-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hang Nadim International Airport | BTH | 11 km (7 mi) | 13,218 ft | 126 ft |
| Singapore Changi Airport | SIN | 23 km (14 mi) | 13,123 ft | 22 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,218 ft, BTH can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 126 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
