Airports at each end
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).

Kotō is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kumamoto Airport (KMJ), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,840 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Kyushu Saga International Airport (HSG, 58 km), Nagasaki Airport (NGS, 79 km), Fukuoka Airport (FUK, 94 km), Amakusa Airport (AXJ, 64 km).
