Flights to Gothenburg
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gothenburg is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Göteborg Landvetter Airport (GOT), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 10,823-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Trollhättan-Vänersborg Airport (THN, 71 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Göteborg Landvetter Airport | GOT | 19 km (12 mi) | 10,823 ft | 506 ft |
| Trollhättan-Vänersborg Airport (regional) | THN | 71 km (44 mi) | 5,610 ft | 137 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,823 ft, GOT can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 506 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
