Kozhikode is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Calicut International Airport (CCJ), 23 km (14 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,383 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calicut International Airport | CCJ | 23 km (14 mi) | 9,383 ft | 342 ft |
| Kannur International Airport | CNN | 79 km (49 mi) | 10,007 ft | 330 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,383 ft, CCJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 342 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
