PanethosLongest 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.comSeveral smaller markets have lengthy 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.
Longest of them all – Runway 16R/34L in Denver – Source: wwclyde.netThe airports with the most runways of 10,000 feet or longer are Denver with six (6), followed by Dallas-Fort Worth International and Chicago O’Hare with four (4) each.
Peace!
p.s. (11/24/25) – Apologies that the original posting on 11/24/25 somehow left out airports in Colorado. Guess I must have gotten distracted while writing the post. Thank you to Gary for noticing this and for providing other additions/corrections.
