Airports at each end
Leaving Lyubertsy
Lyubertsy is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Zhukovsky International Airport (ZIA), 21 km (13 mi) from the centre, whose 15,092-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Domodedovo International Airport (DME, 30 km), Vnukovo International Airport (VKO, 41 km), Sheremetyevo International Airport (SVO, 45 km).
Arriving in Chicago
Chicago is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,522 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD, 25 km), Gary/Chicago International Airport (GYY, 33 km), Michigan City Municipal Airport (MGC, 71 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago Midway International Airport | MDW | 11 km (7 mi) | 6,522 ft | 620 ft |
| Chicago O'Hare International Airport | ORD | 25 km (16 mi) | 13,000 ft | 680 ft |
| Gary/Chicago International Airport (regional) | GYY | 33 km (21 mi) | 8,859 ft | 591 ft |
| Michigan City Municipal Airport (regional) | MGC | 71 km (44 mi) | 4,099 ft | 655 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,021 km (4,984 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
