    • Finland = 18
    • Norway = 13
    • Sweden = 13
    • Denmark = 9
    • Iceland = 2
    • Greenland = 1
    • Svalbard = 1
    • Faroe Islands = 0
    • Åland Islands = 0

    Listed below are the longest commercial airport runways in the Nordic Region of Europe. A minimum runway length of 8,000 feet (2,438.4 m) was required for inclusion. As can be seen, runways of 8,202 feet in length are very common with nine such runways. As far as distribution by nation, the data is as follows:

    • Finland = 18
    • Norway = 13
    • Sweden = 13
    • Denmark = 9

  10. Longest runways at commercial airports in India

    Created using mygooglemaps.com

    Listed below are the longest commercial airport runways in India of 10,000 feet in length or greater. As can be seen, Indira Gandhi International in Delhi has the two (2) longest runways in the country and three (3) of the top seven. Another interesting tidbit is nine (9) of the 42 runways were built on a 90 degree/270 degree trajectory (9/27). The second most common trajectory is 100 degrees by 280 degrees (10/28) with six.

    A continuación se enumeran las pistas de aeropuerto más largas de México. Se requería un mínimo de 2,743 metros de longitud para ser incluidas en la lista. El impresionante nuevo aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México (Internacional Felipe Ángeles), inaugurado en 2022 en el sitio de una antigua base aérea, lidera el camino con las dos pistas más largas del país. Paz!

    [Listed below are the longest airport runways in Mexico. A minimum of 9,000 feet in length was required to be included in the list. Mexico City’s impressive new airport (Felipe Ángeles International), which opened in 2022 on the site of a former air base, leads the way with the two longest runways in the nation. Peace!]

  21. Where Reindeer Fly: The World’s Northernmost Airports

    Eastern Russia and North America

    Listed below and shown on the maps above and below are the northernmost commercial airports in the world with regular passenger service. All are situated above the Arctic Circle.  Five nations are represented including Canada, Greenland (territory of Denmark), Norway, Russia, and the United States. It was a little surprising not to see any in Finland, but the airports situated there just miss the minimum 70 degree north latitude requirement for this post.

    Northern Europe (Norway) and Western Russia

    Commercial airports located so far north face many unique challenges, from 24/7 darkness part of the year to 24/7 daylight another part of the year. From bitter cold, adverse weather, permafrost, ice fog, climate change to potentially dangerous wildlife encounters.

  22. Longest runways at Canadian commercial airports

    Provided below is a list of the longest runways at commercial (passenger) airports in Canada. The minimum length for inclusion is 2,743 m/9,000 feet. Several airports are surprisingly not on the list, including London (ON), St. John’s (NL), Regina (SK), Kitchener (ON), Victoria (BC), and Saskatoon (SK). Toronto’s Pearson International leads the way with five (5) runways of 9,000 feet or greater in length, while Calgary International has the two longest runways in the nation.

  23. Longest runways at American commercial airports

    Listed below are the longest runways at commercial airports in the United States. The minimum length for inclusion is 10,000 feet. AS can be seen, 10,000 feet is the most common length, followed by 10,001 feet.

    Source: wallpapercave.com

    Several smaller markets have length runways including Amarillo, Wichita Falls, Roswell, Lincoln, Salina, Portsmouth, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach. Many of these are the result of the airport also being the site of an active or former air force base.

    The airports with the most runways of 10,000 feet or longer are Dallas-Fort Worth International and Chicago O’Hare with four (4) each.

  29. Commercial airports with at least two sets of parallel runways

    Listed below are those commercial airports around the globe that have at least two sets of parallel runways. The list does not distinguish whether they are separated enough for simultaneous take offs and landings, but is simply based on the runway configurations. Of the 18 airports listed, all but five are in the United States. For those that have a number that include x.5, that reflects an extra parallel runway beyond two in a matching direction.

    If I missed any, please feel free to let me known and the list will be updated accordingly. Airports that have planned runways that will meet the criteria are not included until those runways are completed. Potential known additions to the list could include Istanbul, King Khalid International (Riyadh), and Beijing (Daxing).

    Peace!

  30. #DJI will no longer stop #drones from flying over #airports , #wildfires , and the #WhiteHouse - The Verge

    For over a decade, you couldn’t easily fly a DJI #drone over restricted areas in the United States. DJI’s software would automatically stop you from flying over #runways , power plants, public emergencies like wildfires, and the White House

  31. It's time that we started putting #Russian #airfields out of business. This means destroying their #runways.

    This would cause no civilian casualties.

    "We," means the #UK, France, and other willing #allies.
    Forget #NATO and the #US.

    They are not willing, and they're not coming to help.

    #Ukraine #Russia #UK #France

  32. @rbreich and that applies internationally as things like #alanjoyce of #Qantas #Australia has spent the last years fkg the whole organisation and something that was once our pride and joy is now a #carcass on the #runways of the world that can't even sort out #baggage let alone flights on time.
