Flights to Jamestown
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Jamestown is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Saint Helena International Airport (HLE), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,398 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saint Helena International Airport (regional) | HLE | 9 km (6 mi) | 6,398 ft | 1,017 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,398 ft, HLE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,017 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
