Atlanta is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 12,390-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are DeKalb Peachtree Airport (PDK, 16 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport | ATL | 13 km (8 mi) | 12,390 ft | 1,026 ft |
| DeKalb Peachtree Airport (regional) | PDK | 16 km (10 mi) | 6,001 ft | 1,003 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,390 ft, ATL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,026 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
