Airports at each end
Leaving Århus
Århus is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aarhus Airport (AAR), 30 km (19 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,111 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Odense Hans Christian Andersen Airport (ODE, 76 km), Billund Airport (BLL, 80 km), Midtjyllands Airport / Air Base Karup (KRP, 70 km).
Arriving in Almaty
Almaty is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Almaty International Airport (ALA), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 14,764-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Issyk-Kul International Airport (IKU, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Almaty International Airport | ALA | 16 km (10 mi) | 14,764 ft | 2,234 ft |
| Issyk-Kul International Airport | IKU | 76 km (47 mi) | 12,467 ft | 5,425 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 4,798 km (2,981 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
