| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trabzon International Airport (regional) | TZX | 5 km (3 mi) | 8,661 ft | 104 ft |
| Rize–Artvin Airport (regional) | RZV | 96 km (60 mi) | 9,843 ft | 16 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,661 ft, TZX handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 104 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
