Flights to Groningen
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Groningen is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Groningen Airport Eelde (GRQ), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groningen Airport Eelde | GRQ | 11 km (7 mi) | 8,202 ft | 17 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, GRQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 17 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
