Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Jena is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Erfurt-Weimar Airport (ERF), 44 km (27 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,530 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ, 71 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erfurt-Weimar Airport | ERF | 44 km (27 mi) | 8,530 ft | 1,036 ft |
| Leipzig/Halle Airport | LEJ | 71 km (44 mi) | 11,811 ft | 465 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,530 ft, ERF handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,036 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
