Lincoln is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is East Midlands Airport (EMA), 69 km (43 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,495 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Humberside Airport (HUY, 41 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| East Midlands Airport | EMA | 69 km (43 mi) | 9,495 ft | 306 ft |
| Humberside Airport (regional) | HUY | 41 km (25 mi) | 7,218 ft | 121 ft |
