Matagalpa is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport (MGA), 92 km (57 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,012 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Augusto C. Sandino (Managua) International Airport | MGA | 92 km (57 mi) | 8,012 ft | 194 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,012 ft, MGA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 194 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
