Flights to Bhopal
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Bhopal is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Raja Bhoj International Airport (BHO), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,022 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raja Bhoj International Airport | BHO | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,022 ft | 1,711 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,022 ft, BHO handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,711 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
