| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Pearson International Airport | YYZ | 81 km (50 mi) | 11,120 ft | 569 ft |
| Barrie-Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (regional) | YLK | 13 km (8 mi) | 6,001 ft | 972 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,120 ft, YYZ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 569 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
