Airports at each end
Leaving Funtua
Funtua is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kaduna International Airport (KAD), 92 km (57 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Dhaka
Dhaka is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (IXA, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport | DAC | 15 km (9 mi) | 11,500 ft | 30 ft |
| Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (regional) | IXA | 87 km (54 mi) | 7,500 ft | 46 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,801 km (5,469 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
