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).
Arriving in Santander
Santander is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bilbao Airport (BIO), 75 km (47 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,530 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport (SDR, 4 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bilbao Airport | BIO | 75 km (47 mi) | 8,530 ft | 138 ft |
| Seve Ballesteros-Santander Airport (regional) | SDR | 4 km (2 mi) | 7,612 ft | 16 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 6,767 km (4,205 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
