Flights to Tyre
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tyre is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport (BEY), 67 km (42 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Uri Michaeli Haifa International Airport (HFA, 53 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport | BEY | 67 km (42 mi) | 12,467 ft | 87 ft |
| Uri Michaeli Haifa International Airport (regional) | HFA | 53 km (33 mi) | 4,324 ft | 28 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, BEY can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 87 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
