The closest large one is Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), 26 km (16 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN, 34 km), Dortmund Airport (DTM, 53 km), Weeze (Niederrhein) Airport (NRN, 81 km), Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST, 96 km).
