| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mbandaka Airport (regional) | MDK | 4 km (2 mi) | 7,223 ft | 1,040 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,223 ft, MDK handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,040 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
