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 Sioux Falls
Sioux Falls is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sioux Falls Regional Airport (regional) | FSD | 5 km (3 mi) | 9,000 ft | 1,429 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,157 km (5,690 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
