Košice is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Košice International Airport (KSC), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,171-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Poprad-Tatry Airport (TAT, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Košice International Airport (regional) | KSC | 6 km (4 mi) | 10,171 ft | 755 ft |
| Poprad-Tatry Airport (regional) | TAT | 84 km (52 mi) | 8,530 ft | 2,356 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,171 ft, KSC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 755 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
