Dushanbe is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dushanbe International Airport (DYU), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, whose 10,170-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Bokhtar International Airport (KQT, 75 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dushanbe International Airport | DYU | 4 km (2 mi) | 10,170 ft | 2,575 ft |
| Bokhtar International Airport | KQT | 75 km (47 mi) | 7,497 ft | 1,473 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,170 ft, DYU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,575 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
