Flights to Kochi
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kochi is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kochi Ryoma Airport (KCZ), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,203 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Matsuyama Airport (MYJ, 83 km), Takamatsu Airport (TAK, 86 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kochi Ryoma Airport | KCZ | 13 km (8 mi) | 8,203 ft | 42 ft |
| Matsuyama Airport | MYJ | 83 km (52 mi) | 8,200 ft | 25 ft |
| Takamatsu Airport | TAK | 86 km (53 mi) | 8,200 ft | 607 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,203 ft, KCZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 42 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
