Huntsville is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Huntsville International Airport (HSV), 20 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 12,600-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Northwest Alabama Regional Airport (MSL, 94 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huntsville International Airport (regional) | HSV | 20 km (12 mi) | 12,600 ft | 629 ft |
| Northwest Alabama Regional Airport (regional) | MSL | 94 km (58 mi) | 6,693 ft | 551 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,600 ft, HSV can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 629 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
