| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport | PHX | 13 km (8 mi) | 11,489 ft | 1,135 ft |
| Mesa Gateway Airport (regional) | AZA | 32 km (20 mi) | 10,401 ft | 1,382 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,489 ft, PHX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,135 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
