Flights to Kassel
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kassel is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kassel Airport (KSF), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (PAD, 69 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kassel Airport | KSF | 14 km (9 mi) | 8,202 ft | 820 ft |
| Paderborn Lippstadt Airport | PAD | 69 km (43 mi) | 7,152 ft | 699 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, KSF handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 820 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
