Ensenada is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport (TIJ), 82 km (51 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,711 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Abelardo L. Rodriguez International Airport | TIJ | 82 km (51 mi) | 9,711 ft | 489 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,711 ft, TIJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 489 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
