Flights to Peshawar
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Peshawar is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Bacha Khan International Airport (PEW), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bacha Khan International Airport | PEW | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,000 ft | 1,158 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,000 ft, PEW handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,158 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
