Kanpur is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO), 63 km (39 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,996 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Kanpur Airport (KNU, 9 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport | LKO | 63 km (39 mi) | 8,996 ft | 410 ft |
| Kanpur Airport (regional) | KNU | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,000 ft | 410 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,996 ft, LKO handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 410 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
