Flights to Isiro
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Isiro is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Matari Airport (IRP), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matari Airport (regional) | IRP | 7 km (4 mi) | 8,202 ft | 2,438 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, IRP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,438 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
