Fields that two registers place within 4 km of each other are one row. Heights from OurAirports are in feet, from GeoNames in metres; the Somali name in brackets is the Wikidata label. ## The two long runways - **Kismayo:** [Kismayo Airport](/en/infrastructure/kismayo-airport/), a 3.7 km asphalt runway built in the 1970s, run by the Jubaland administration since 2013. - **Baidoa:** [Baidoa Airport](/en/infrastructure/baidoa-airport/), a 2,940-metre asphalt runway first paved with Soviet help in 1974. ## Gedo - **[Baardheere](/en/regions/baardheere/) (Bardera):** the airport (BSY, HCMD) is at about 550 feet above sea level, with one compacted-sand runway, 15/33, of 1,300 by 30 metres ([Wikipedia, Bardera Airport](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardera_Airport)).
