Key findings
- 1
400 of the 1,151 large airports with scheduled passenger service in the data (35%) have another large airport within 100 km.
How we calculated this: Count of OurAirports large airports (scheduled service, IATA code) with at least one other within 100 km great-circle.
- 2
In the data, the closest pair is Doha International Airport (DIA) and Hamad International Airport (DOH): 4.5 km (3 mi) apart.
How we calculated this: Minimum great-circle distance between the reference points of two large dataset airports.
- 3
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), Eindhoven Airport (EIN), Long Beach International Airport (LGB), Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST), Ontario International Airport (ONT), John Wayne Orange County International Airport (SNA) have the most: 5 other large airports within 100 km each.
How we calculated this: Maximum count of other large dataset airports within 100 km of one (ties by IATA code).
- 4
The largest group linked by gaps of 100 km or less has 15 large airports: AMS, BRU, CGN, CRL, DTM, DUS, EIN, FMO, KSF, LIL, MST, NRN, OST, PAD, RTM.
How we calculated this: Connected groups of large dataset airports where each is within 100 km of at least one other in the group; a group can span more than 100 km end to end.
- 5
71 of the 303 pairs are in different countries, including King Hussein International Airport (AQJ) and Ramon International Airport (ETM); Abraham González International Airport (CJS) and El Paso International Airport (ELP); Maya-Maya International Airport (BZV) and Ndjili International Airport (FIH).
How we calculated this: Pairs whose two airports have different ISO country codes in OurAirports.

Methodology
- Airports: airports with scheduled passenger service and an IATA code that OurAirports classifies as large (1,151 airports, retrieved 2026-10-18). “Large” is OurAirports’ type, not a measure of passengers or flights.
- Pairs: every two of those airports whose reference points are within 100 km great-circle (haversine, mean Earth radius 6,371.0088 km).
- Groups: airports joined by chains of such pairs, so a group can be wider than 100 km end to end.
- Ties are ordered by IATA code.
Limitations
- Straight-line distance between airport reference points is not road distance or travel time between them.
- OurAirports’ type and scheduled-service flag are community-maintained and can lag reality; they say nothing about which airlines fly, how often, or how busy an airport is.
- A scheduled-service flag can outlive an airport’s scheduled flights, so very close pairs — such as the closest one here — are worth checking on the airports’ own sites.
- Medium airports are left out, so some real alternatives (often the most convenient ones) are not counted here; the airport pages list every nearby airport.
