Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Chemnitz is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dresden Airport (DRS), 67 km (42 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,350 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Karlovy Vary Airport (KLV, 70 km), Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dresden Airport | DRS | 67 km (42 mi) | 9,350 ft | 755 ft |
| Karlovy Vary Airport | KLV | 70 km (43 mi) | 7,054 ft | 1,989 ft |
| Leipzig/Halle Airport | LEJ | 81 km (50 mi) | 11,811 ft | 465 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,350 ft, DRS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 755 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
