Flights to Mabopane
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mabopane is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lanseria International Airport (HLA), 50 km (31 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB, 73 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lanseria International Airport | HLA | 50 km (31 mi) | 10,000 ft | 4,517 ft |
| O.R. Tambo International Airport | JNB | 73 km (45 mi) | 14,495 ft | 5,558 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, HLA can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 4,517 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
