| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florence Airport, Peretola | FLR | 5 km (3 mi) | 5,118 ft | 142 ft |
| Pisa International Airport | PSA | 69 km (43 mi) | 9,820 ft | 6 ft |
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 84 km (52 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |
| Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (regional) | FRL | 80 km (50 mi) | 7,907 ft | 97 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,118 ft, FLR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 142 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
