Feb 7, 2025

Mataveri International Airport on Easter Island is the most remote airport globally, located 2,336 miles from Santiago de Chile's Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. Originally extended for NASA's Space Shuttle program, it now hosts LATAM Chile's flights to Santiago. The airline uses Boeing 787s for its 12 weekly flights and has discontinued its route to French Polynesia since June 2020.

Svalbard Airport in Norway is the northernmost airport with scheduled commercial flights. It connects only domestically to Oslo and Tromsø through Scandinavian Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle using Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 aircraft.

Paro International Airport in Bhutan is known for its challenging approach due to surrounding mountains. Only two airlines operate here: Drukair and Bhutan Airlines, serving various Asian destinations. Drukair operates a fleet including Airbus A319s and ATR 42-600.

Linzhi Milin Airport in Tibet faces weather challenges, operating commercially only about 100 days a year. Six airlines serve this airport with Airbus A319 aircraft, except China Southern Airlines which uses the A319neo.

Elizovo Airport near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in Russia serves both military and commercial purposes. Seven airlines connect it to domestic destinations with Aeroflot deploying Boeing 777-300ERs on routes to Moscow.

Aeroflot's operations face challenges due to sanctions limiting access to Western-manufactured aircraft parts, potentially increasing reliance on Russian-built planes like the Sukhoi Superjet SSJ100.
