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 Meads
Meads is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (HTS), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,017 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Yeager Airport (CRW, 97 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tri-State Airport / Milton J. Ferguson Field (regional) | HTS | 14 km (9 mi) | 7,017 ft | 828 ft |
| Yeager Airport (regional) | CRW | 97 km (60 mi) | 6,715 ft | 981 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,793 km (5,464 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
