Flights to Cape Coral
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Cape Coral is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), 20 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 12,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Punta Gorda Airport (PGD, 40 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Southwest Florida International Airport | RSW | 20 km (12 mi) | 12,000 ft | 30 ft |
| Punta Gorda Airport (regional) | PGD | 40 km (25 mi) | 7,193 ft | 26 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,000 ft, RSW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 30 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
