Leaving Lahore
Lahore is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 11,024-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport (ATQ, 46 km).

Didao is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Jixi Xingkaihu Airport (JXA), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,546 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 5,041 km (3,132 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
