The closest large one is Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), 30 km (19 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kilimanjaro International Airport | JRO | 30 km (19 mi) | 11,811 ft | 2,932 ft |
| Arusha Airport (regional) | ARK | 78 km (48 mi) | 5,377 ft | 4,550 ft |
| Amboseli Airport (regional) | ASV | 79 km (49 mi) | 3,284 ft | 3,755 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, JRO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,932 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
