Airports at each end
Leaving Kano
Kano is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (KAN), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, whose 10,831-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Maran
Maran is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kuantan Airport (KUA), 53 km (33 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,200 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kuantan Airport (regional) | KUA | 53 km (33 mi) | 9,200 ft | 58 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,387 km (6,454 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
