Airports at each end
Leaving Asmara
Asmara is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Asmara International Airport (ASM), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Delhi
Delhi is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 14,534-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Noida International Airport (DXN, 64 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indira Gandhi International Airport | DEL | 17 km (11 mi) | 14,534 ft | 777 ft |
| Noida International Airport | DXN | 64 km (40 mi) | 12,975 ft | 644 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 4,195 km (2,606 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
