| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senai International Airport | JHB | 22 km (14 mi) | 12,467 ft | 135 ft |
| Singapore Changi Airport | SIN | 29 km (18 mi) | 13,123 ft | 22 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, JHB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 135 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
