Airports at each end
Leaving Maroua
Maroua is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Salak Airport (MVR), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,890 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Dhaka
Dhaka is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (IXA, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport | DAC | 15 km (9 mi) | 11,500 ft | 30 ft |
| Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (regional) | IXA | 87 km (54 mi) | 7,500 ft | 46 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,131 km (5,053 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
