Airports at each end
Leaving Abidjan
Abidjan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Félix-Houphouët-Boigny International Airport (ABJ), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Belawan
Belawan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), 26 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,303-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kualanamu International Airport | KNO | 26 km (16 mi) | 12,303 ft | 23 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,369 km (7,064 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
