Airports at each end
Leaving Lahore
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).

Lexington is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Blue Grass Airport (LEX), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,004 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Grass Airport (regional) | LEX | 12 km (7 mi) | 7,004 ft | 979 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,976 km (7,442 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
