Guantánamo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Antonio Maceo International Airport (SCU), 68 km (42 mi) from the centre, whose 13,130-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Gustavo Rizo Airport (BCA, 77 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antonio Maceo International Airport | SCU | 68 km (42 mi) | 13,130 ft | 249 ft |
| Gustavo Rizo Airport (regional) | BCA | 77 km (48 mi) | 6,070 ft | 26 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,130 ft, SCU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 249 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
