Airports with the Longest Runways in the World
Runway length is the single biggest constraint on which aircraft an airport can handle: the longer the runway, the larger and more heavily laden the aircraft that can safely take off and land, especially at high elevation or in hot weather. This list ranks airports by their longest runway, drawn from the OurAirports database.
