Flights to Middlesbrough
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Middlesbrough is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Newcastle International Airport (NCL), 59 km (37 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,644 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA, 84 km), Teesside International Airport (MME, 15 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newcastle International Airport | NCL | 59 km (37 mi) | 7,644 ft | 266 ft |
| Leeds Bradford Airport | LBA | 84 km (52 mi) | 7,381 ft | 681 ft |
| Teesside International Airport (regional) | MME | 15 km (9 mi) | 7,516 ft | 120 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,644 ft, NCL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 266 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
