Longest commercial airport runways of the Nordic region

Source: encyclopediabritannica.com

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
  • Iceland = 2
  • Greenland = 1
  • Svalbard = 1
  • Faroe Islands = 0
  • Åland Islands = 0
  • Jan Mayen Island = 0

    Ford wants to extend Billy Bishop Airport's runways to make way for jets. It might not be that simple
    The owner of Toronto's island airport "fully supports" an idea by Premier Doug Ford to expand its runways to make way for jets, but says changes to how the airport is governed would have to happen first.

    Listed below are commercial airports across the United Kingdom and Ireland with the longest runways. A minimum length of 7,500 feet was required for inclusion.

    *Because some of the data varied between the full list page on wikipedia and individual wikipedia airport pages, secondary sources were checked to verify the runway lengths.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Several 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.net

    The 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.
