Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gloucester is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bristol Airport (BRS), 63 km (39 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,598 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Birmingham Airport (BHX, 74 km), Cardiff International Airport (CWL, 92 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bristol Airport | BRS | 63 km (39 mi) | 6,598 ft | 622 ft |
| Birmingham Airport | BHX | 74 km (46 mi) | 10,013 ft | 327 ft |
| Cardiff International Airport | CWL | 92 km (57 mi) | 7,723 ft | 220 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,598 ft, BRS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 622 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
