Flights to Tanga
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tanga is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Tanga Airport (TGT), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,160 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tanga Airport (regional) | TGT | 4 km (2 mi) | 4,160 ft | 129 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,160 ft, TGT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 129 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
