Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Bologna is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,196 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR, 77 km), Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (FRL, 67 km), Parma Airport (PMF, 90 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |
| Florence Airport, Peretola | FLR | 77 km (48 mi) | 5,118 ft | 142 ft |
| Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (regional) | FRL | 67 km (42 mi) | 7,907 ft | 97 ft |
| Parma Airport (regional) | PMF | 90 km (56 mi) | 6,962 ft | 161 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,196 ft, BLQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 123 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
