Flights to Greensboro
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Greensboro is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, whose 10,001-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piedmont Triad International Airport | GSO | 13 km (8 mi) | 10,001 ft | 925 ft |
| Raleigh-Durham International Airport | RDU | 93 km (58 mi) | 10,000 ft | 435 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,001 ft, GSO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 925 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
