| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saransk International Airport | SKX | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,186 ft | 676 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,186 ft, SKX handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 676 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
