Flights to Taiping
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Taiping is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH), 51 km (32 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,900 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Penang International Airport (PEN, 71 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sultan Azlan Shah Airport | IPH | 51 km (32 mi) | 5,900 ft | 130 ft |
| Penang International Airport | PEN | 71 km (44 mi) | 10,997 ft | 11 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,900 ft, IPH handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 130 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
