Flights to Dresden
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Dresden is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Dresden Airport (DRS), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,350 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dresden Airport | DRS | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,350 ft | 755 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.
