|---|---|---|---|---|
| King Mswati III International Airport | SHO | 37 km (23 mi) | 11,811 ft | 1,092 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, SHO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,092 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
