Dakhla is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Dakhla Airport (VIL), 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dakhla Airport | VIL | 5 km (3 mi) | 9,842 ft | 36 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, VIL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 36 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
