Valencia is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hollywood Burbank/Bob Hope Airport (BUR), 35 km (22 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,886 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Los Angeles International Airport (LAX, 59 km), Long Beach International Airport (LGB, 82 km), Jack Northrop Field Hawthorne Municipal Airport (HHR, 63 km).
