Flights to Limerick
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Limerick is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shannon Airport (SNN), 21 km (13 mi) from the centre, whose 10,495-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Cork International Airport (ORK, 92 km), Kerry Airport (KIR, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shannon Airport | SNN | 21 km (13 mi) | 10,495 ft | 46 ft |
| Cork International Airport | ORK | 92 km (57 mi) | 6,998 ft | 502 ft |
| Kerry Airport (regional) | KIR | 81 km (50 mi) | 6,562 ft | 112 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,495 ft, SNN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 46 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
