The closest large one is Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW), 54 km (34 mi) from the centre, whose 11,614-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport | SAW | 54 km (34 mi) | 11,614 ft | 312 ft |
| Bursa Yenişehir Airport (regional) | YEI | 65 km (40 mi) | 9,818 ft | 764 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,614 ft, SAW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 312 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
