İzmir is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Adnan Menderes International Airport (ADB), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 10,630-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Samos Airport (SMI, 83 km), Mytilene International Airport (MJT, 86 km), Chios Island National Airport (JKH, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adnan Menderes International Airport | ADB | 13 km (8 mi) | 10,630 ft | 412 ft |
| Samos Airport (regional) | SMI | 83 km (52 mi) | 6,706 ft | 19 ft |
| Mytilene International Airport (regional) | MJT | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,894 ft | 60 ft |
| Chios Island National Airport (regional) | JKH | 87 km (54 mi) | 4,957 ft | 15 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,630 ft, ADB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 412 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
