Airports at each end
Leaving Kinshasa
Kinshasa is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Maya-Maya International Airport (BZV), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 10,827-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Ndjili International Airport (FIH, 16 km).
Arriving in Ipoh
Ipoh is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,900 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Azlan Shah Airport | IPH | 2 km (1 mi) | 5,900 ft | 130 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,578 km (5,952 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
