| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Playa de Oro International Airport (regional) | ZLO | 90 km (56 mi) | 7,218 ft | 30 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,546 ft, CLQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,467 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
