Where it sits

Of the 661 airports on this site it is the 620th most northerly, which makes it the 42nd most southerly.
Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 27.4°N, 26.9°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is La Palma (SPC) in Spain, still 906 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.
What’s near it
The closest other airport on this site is Sunshine Coast (MCY), 88 km away in a straight line. 2 airports here sit within 100 km — worth checking which one your ticket actually says.

Great circle distance and an estimated time in the air. The longest is Auckland, at 2,295 km.
Where these facts come from
The profile is looked up, not written from memory: type, runways, elevation and the official website from OurAirports (public domain); opening year, namesake, operator and passenger count from Wikidata (CC0); the city centre from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates.
What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
