Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gebze is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,614-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are İstanbul Airport (IST, 79 km), Bursa Yenişehir Airport (YEI, 62 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport | SAW | 15 km (9 mi) | 11,614 ft | 312 ft |
| İstanbul Airport | IST | 79 km (49 mi) | 13,451 ft | 325 ft |
| Bursa Yenişehir Airport (regional) | YEI | 62 km (39 mi) | 9,818 ft | 764 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,614 ft, SAW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 312 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
