Flights to Chico
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Chico is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Redding Municipal Airport (RDD), 95 km (59 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,003 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Redding Municipal Airport (regional) | RDD | 95 km (59 mi) | 7,003 ft | 505 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,003 ft, RDD handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 505 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
