Flights to Malakal
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Malakal is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Malakal International Airport (MAK), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,562 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Malakal International Airport (regional) | MAK | 3 km (2 mi) | 6,562 ft | 1,291 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,562 ft, MAK handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,291 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
