Arriving in Mabopane
Mabopane is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lanseria International Airport (HLA), 50 km (31 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB, 73 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lanseria International Airport | HLA | 50 km (31 mi) | 10,000 ft | 4,517 ft |
| O.R. Tambo International Airport | JNB | 73 km (45 mi) | 14,495 ft | 5,558 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,128 km (5,051 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
