Flights to Kraków
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Kraków is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kraków John Paul II International Airport (KRK), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,366 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport (KTW, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kraków John Paul II International Airport | KRK | 11 km (7 mi) | 8,366 ft | 791 ft |
| Katowice Wojciech Korfanty International Airport | KTW | 76 km (47 mi) | 10,499 ft | 995 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,366 ft, KRK handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 791 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
