Bremerhaven is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bremen Airport (BRE), 58 km (36 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,642 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bremen Airport | BRE | 58 km (36 mi) | 8,642 ft | 14 ft |
| Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport | HAM | 94 km (58 mi) | 12,028 ft | 53 ft |
| Sea-Airport Cuxhaven/Nordholz / Nordholz Naval Airbase (regional) | FCN | 24 km (15 mi) | 8,002 ft | 74 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,642 ft, BRE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 14 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
