Airports at each end
Leaving Onitsha
Onitsha is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Asaba International Airport (ABB), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,155-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Akanu Ibiam International Airport (ENU, 93 km), Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (QOW, 93 km).
Arriving in Jakarta
Jakarta is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport (HLP), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK, 23 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport | HLP | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,843 ft | 84 ft |
| Soekarno-Hatta International Airport | CGK | 23 km (14 mi) | 12,008 ft | 34 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,188 km (6,952 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
