Flights to Benoni
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Benoni is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 14,495-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Lanseria International Airport (HLA, 48 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O.R. Tambo International Airport | JNB | 9 km (6 mi) | 14,495 ft | 5,558 ft |
| Lanseria International Airport | HLA | 48 km (30 mi) | 10,000 ft | 4,517 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,495 ft, JNB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,558 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
