| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport | BWI | 14 km (9 mi) | 10,503 ft | 146 ft |
| Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport | DCA | 61 km (38 mi) | 7,169 ft | 15 ft |

| Wilmington Airport (regional) | ILG | 97 km (60 mi) | 7,275 ft | 80 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,503 ft, BWI can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 146 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
