Flights to Kayes
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kayes is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Kayes Dag Dag Airport (KYS), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,858 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kayes Dag Dag Airport (regional) | KYS | 6 km (4 mi) | 8,858 ft | 164 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,858 ft, KYS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 164 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
