Flights to Lahore
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Lahore is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 11,024-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport (ATQ, 46 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allama Iqbal International Airport | LHE | 6 km (4 mi) | 11,024 ft | 712 ft |
| Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport | ATQ | 46 km (29 mi) | 12,000 ft | 756 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,024 ft, LHE can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 712 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
