Flights to Madurai
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Madurai is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Madurai Airport (IXM), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,990 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Madurai Airport (regional) | IXM | 10 km (6 mi) | 5,990 ft | 459 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,990 ft, IXM handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 459 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
