Katowice is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport (KTW), 24 km (15 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport | KTW | 24 km (15 mi) | 10,499 ft | 995 ft |
| Kraków John Paul II International Airport | KRK | 58 km (36 mi) | 8,366 ft | 791 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,499 ft, KTW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 995 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
