| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan International Airport | BPN | 91 km (57 mi) | 8,202 ft | 12 ft |
| Aji Pangeran Tumenggung Pranoto International Airport (regional) | AAP | 17 km (11 mi) | 7,382 ft | 82 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, BPN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 12 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
