Burlington is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (YHM), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 10,006-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ, 36 km), Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF, 45 km), Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ, 45 km), Niagara District Airport (YCM, 58 km), Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG, 79 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport | YHM | 25 km (16 mi) | 10,006 ft | 780 ft |
| Toronto Pearson International Airport | YYZ | 36 km (22 mi) | 11,120 ft | 569 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,006 ft, YHM can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 780 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
