| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport | LJU | 20 km (12 mi) | 10,827 ft | 1,273 ft |
| Klagenfurt Airport | KLU | 67 km (42 mi) | 8,924 ft | 1,472 ft |

| Rijeka Airport | RJK | 93 km (58 mi) | 8,164 ft | 278 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,827 ft, LJU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,273 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
