Flights to Nyagatare
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Nyagatare is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kigali International Airport (KGL), 78 km (48 mi) from the centre, whose 11,483-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Savannah Airstrip (KHX, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kigali International Airport | KGL | 78 km (48 mi) | 11,483 ft | 4,859 ft |
| Savannah Airstrip (regional) | KHX | 95 km (59 mi) | 6,004 ft | 3,600 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,483 ft, KGL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 4,859 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.
