Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Latakia is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Latakia International Airport (LTK), 20 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,175 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Latakia International Airport (regional) | LTK | 20 km (12 mi) | 9,175 ft | 157 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,175 ft, LTK handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 157 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
