| Toussaint Louverture International Airport | PAP | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,974 ft | 122 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,974 ft, PAP handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 122 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
