| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport (regional) | GRX | 65 km (40 mi) | 9,514 ft | 1,860 ft |
| Córdoba Airport (regional) | ODB | 93 km (58 mi) | 7,352 ft | 297 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,514 ft, GRX handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,860 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
