Flights to Gainesville
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gainesville is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,504 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gainesville Regional Airport (regional) | GNV | 7 km (4 mi) | 7,504 ft | 152 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,504 ft, GNV handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 152 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
