Anaheim is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is John Wayne Orange County International Airport (SNA), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,700 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Long Beach International Airport (LGB, 22 km), Ontario International Airport (ONT, 38 km), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX, 47 km), Hollywood Burbank/Bob Hope Airport (BUR, 58 km), San Bernardino International Airport (SBD, 69 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Wayne Orange County International Airport | SNA | 18 km (11 mi) | 5,700 ft | 56 ft |
| Long Beach International Airport | LGB | 22 km (14 mi) | 10,000 ft | 60 ft |
| Ontario International Airport | ONT | 38 km (24 mi) | 12,197 ft | 944 ft |

| San Bernardino International Airport | SBD | 69 km (43 mi) | 10,000 ft | 1,159 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,700 ft, SNA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 56 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
