Flights to Delhi
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Delhi is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 14,534-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Noida International Airport (DXN, 64 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indira Gandhi International Airport | DEL | 17 km (11 mi) | 14,534 ft | 777 ft |
| Noida International Airport | DXN | 64 km (40 mi) | 12,975 ft | 644 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,534 ft, DEL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 777 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
