|---|---|---|---|---|
| Düsseldorf Airport | DUS | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,842 ft | 147 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, DUS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 147 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
