| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 43 km (27 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |
| Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport | VRN | 85 km (53 mi) | 10,064 ft | 239 ft |
| Venice Marco Polo Airport | VCE | 94 km (58 mi) | 10,827 ft | 7 ft |
| Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (regional) | FRL | 80 km (50 mi) | 7,907 ft | 97 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,196 ft, BLQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 123 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
