McKinney is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dallas Love Field (DAL), 45 km (28 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,800 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW, 52 km), Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dallas Love Field | DAL | 45 km (28 mi) | 8,800 ft | 487 ft |
| Dallas Fort Worth International Airport | DFW | 52 km (32 mi) | 13,401 ft | 607 ft |
| Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (regional) | FTW | 81 km (50 mi) | 7,502 ft | 710 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,800 ft, DAL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 487 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
