Flights to Göttingen
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Göttingen is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kassel Airport (KSF), 40 km (25 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (PAD, 91 km), Erfurt-Weimar Airport (ERF, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kassel Airport | KSF | 40 km (25 mi) | 8,202 ft | 820 ft |
| Paderborn Lippstadt Airport | PAD | 91 km (57 mi) | 7,152 ft | 699 ft |
| Erfurt-Weimar Airport | ERF | 95 km (59 mi) | 8,530 ft | 1,036 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, KSF handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 820 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
