Flights to Lille
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Lille is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lille Airport (LIL), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,268 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST, 64 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lille Airport | LIL | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,268 ft | 157 ft |
| Ostend-Bruges International Airport | OST | 64 km (40 mi) | 10,499 ft | 13 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,268 ft, LIL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 157 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
