Airports at each end
Leaving Sakata
Sakata is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shonai Airport (SYO), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,560 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Yamagata Airport (GAJ, 72 km), Akita Airport (AXT, 84 km).
Arriving in 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).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allama Iqbal International Airport | LHE | 6 km (4 mi) | 11,024 ft | 712 ft |
| Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport | ATQ | 46 km (29 mi) | 12,000 ft | 756 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 5,879 km (3,653 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
