| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linz-Hörsching Airport | LNZ | 11 km (7 mi) | 9,843 ft | 980 ft |
| České Budějovice South Bohemian Airport | JCL | 72 km (45 mi) | 8,202 ft | 1,417 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, LNZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 980 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
