Bath is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bristol Airport (BRS), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,598 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cardiff International Airport (CWL, 68 km), Bournemouth Airport (BOH, 76 km), Southampton Airport (SOU, 85 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Airport | BRS | 25 km (16 mi) | 6,598 ft | 622 ft |
| Cardiff International Airport | CWL | 68 km (42 mi) | 7,723 ft | 220 ft |

| Southampton Airport (regional) | SOU | 85 km (53 mi) | 6,191 ft | 44 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,598 ft, BRS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 622 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
