Flights to Ludhiana
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ludhiana is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Halwara International Airport (HWR), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 10,007-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halwara International Airport | HWR | 28 km (17 mi) | 10,007 ft | 790 ft |
| Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport | IXC | 93 km (58 mi) | 12,467 ft | 1,012 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,007 ft, HWR can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 790 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
