Flights to Idlib
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Idlib is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Aleppo International Airport (ALP), 60 km (37 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,547 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Hatay Airport (HTY, 57 km), Latakia International Airport (LTK, 85 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aleppo International Airport | ALP | 60 km (37 mi) | 9,547 ft | 1,276 ft |
| Hatay Airport (regional) | HTY | 57 km (35 mi) | 6,830 ft | 269 ft |
| Latakia International Airport (regional) | LTK | 85 km (53 mi) | 9,175 ft | 157 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,547 ft, ALP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,276 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
