| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport (regional) | NKT | 12 km (7 mi) | 9,843 ft | 2,038 ft |
| Qamishli International Airport (regional) | KAC | 95 km (59 mi) | 11,860 ft | 1,480 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, NKT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,038 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
