| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| San Tomé Airport (regional) | SOM | 13 km (8 mi) | 6,299 ft | 861 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,299 ft, SOM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 861 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
