Flights to Ipswich
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ipswich is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is London Stansted Airport (STN), 66 km (41 mi) from the centre, whose 10,003-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are London Southend Airport (SEN, 63 km), Norwich Airport (NWI, 69 km), London City Airport (LCY, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| London Stansted Airport | STN | 66 km (41 mi) | 10,003 ft | 348 ft |
| London Southend Airport (regional) | SEN | 63 km (39 mi) | 6,089 ft | 49 ft |
| Norwich Airport (regional) | NWI | 69 km (43 mi) | 6,043 ft | 118 ft |
| London City Airport (regional) | LCY | 98 km (61 mi) | 4,948 ft | 19 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,003 ft, STN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 348 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
