|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sary-Arka Airport | KGF | 22 km (14 mi) | 10,831 ft | 1,765 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,831 ft, KGF can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,765 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
