Kent is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,901-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are King County International Airport - Boeing Field (BFI, 17 km), Tacoma Narrows Airport (TIW, 29 km), Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE, 59 km), Olympia Regional Airport (OLM, 68 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle–Tacoma International Airport | SEA | 9 km (6 mi) | 11,901 ft | 433 ft |
| King County International Airport - Boeing Field (regional) | BFI | 17 km (11 mi) | 10,007 ft | 21 ft |
| Tacoma Narrows Airport (regional) | TIW | 29 km (18 mi) | 5,002 ft | 294 ft |
| Seattle Paine Field International Airport (regional) | PAE | 59 km (37 mi) | 9,010 ft | 606 ft |
| Olympia Regional Airport (regional) | OLM | 68 km (42 mi) | 5,500 ft | 209 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,901 ft, SEA can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 433 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
