Flights to Magdeburg
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Magdeburg is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), 89 km (55 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leipzig/Halle Airport | LEJ | 89 km (55 mi) | 11,811 ft | 465 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, LEJ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 465 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
