Flights to Cagliari
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Cagliari is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,196 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cagliari Elmas Airport | CAG | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,196 ft | 13 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,196 ft, CAG handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 13 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
