| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banjul International Airport | BJL | 12 km (7 mi) | 11,811 ft | 95 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, BJL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 95 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
