Flights to Blackburn
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Blackburn is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Manchester Airport (MAN), 47 km (29 mi) from the centre, whose 10,007-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL, 52 km), Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA, 56 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester Airport | MAN | 47 km (29 mi) | 10,007 ft | 257 ft |
| Liverpool John Lennon Airport | LPL | 52 km (32 mi) | 7,497 ft | 80 ft |
| Leeds Bradford Airport | LBA | 56 km (35 mi) | 7,381 ft | 681 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,007 ft, MAN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 257 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
