Flights to Franca
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Franca is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Leite Lopes Airport (RAO), 77 km (48 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,890 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leite Lopes Airport (regional) | RAO | 77 km (48 mi) | 6,890 ft | 1,805 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,890 ft, RAO handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,805 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
