Akron is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), 46 km (29 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,953 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Akron Canton Regional Airport (CAK, 19 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland Hopkins International Airport | CLE | 46 km (29 mi) | 9,953 ft | 791 ft |
| Akron Canton Regional Airport (regional) | CAK | 19 km (12 mi) | 8,204 ft | 1,228 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,953 ft, CLE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 791 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
