| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dortmund Airport | DTM | 28 km (17 mi) | 6,562 ft | 425 ft |
| Düsseldorf Airport | DUS | 38 km (24 mi) | 9,842 ft | 147 ft |

| Paderborn Lippstadt Airport | PAD | 98 km (61 mi) | 7,152 ft | 699 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,562 ft, DTM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 425 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
