Allentown is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), 85 km (53 mi) from the centre, whose 12,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE, 6 km), Trenton Mercer Airport (TTN, 68 km), Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (AVP, 83 km), Lancaster Airport (LNS, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia International Airport | PHL | 85 km (53 mi) | 12,000 ft | 36 ft |
| Lehigh Valley International Airport (regional) | ABE | 6 km (4 mi) | 7,599 ft | 393 ft |
| Trenton Mercer Airport (regional) | TTN | 68 km (42 mi) | 6,006 ft | 213 ft |
| Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport (regional) | AVP | 83 km (52 mi) | 7,502 ft | 962 ft |
| Lancaster Airport (regional) | LNS | 87 km (54 mi) | 6,933 ft | 403 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,000 ft, PHL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 36 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
