Airports at each end
Leaving Lagos
Lagos is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 12,794-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Davao
Davao is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Francisco Bangoy International Airport (DVO), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Francisco Bangoy International Airport | DVO | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,842 ft | 96 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,431 km (8,346 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
