I’ve just been looking at some airport PDFs and found this at Charles de Gaulle LFPG
At 4200m this might be a record for Europe?
Maybe this one:
KTTS is 15,001 ft.
The European record is Ulyanovsk (home of the An124) at 5’000m.

Correct. The second longest seems to be Madrid–Torrejón Airport (LETO) at 4818 , followed by Moscow-Ramenskoye (UUBW) as posted by Emir above.
Somewhere in the house I have the drawings for a proposed runway of if I remember circa 15 miles. It was a post war proposal when it was thought that the future transatlantic flights would be piston aircraft with lots of weight and fuel requirements and thus correspondingly long runways. I think the idea was to have two or three of these runways in the west of the British isles.
Mile high city, always worth a visit!
The pretty basic Q I would ask is: who actually needs a 5km runway?
@Peter, Aviastar aircraft factory? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviastar-SP
