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).
Arriving in Richmond
Richmond is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Richmond International Airport (RIC), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,003 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (PHF, 98 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Richmond International Airport | RIC | 14 km (9 mi) | 9,003 ft | 167 ft |
| Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (regional) | PHF | 98 km (61 mi) | 8,003 ft | 42 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,792 km (7,327 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
