Airports at each end
Leaving Istanbul
Istanbul is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), 33 km (21 mi) from the centre, whose 11,614-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are İstanbul Airport (IST, 34 km), Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport (TEQ, 87 km), Bursa Yenişehir Airport (YEI, 99 km).
Arriving in Greater Sudbury
Greater Sudbury is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sudbury Airport (YSB), 21 km (13 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,600 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sudbury Airport (regional) | YSB | 21 km (13 mi) | 6,600 ft | 1,141 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,075 km (5,017 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
