Flights to Milwaukee
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Milwaukee is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,990 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Mitchell International Airport | MKE | 10 km (6 mi) | 9,990 ft | 723 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,990 ft, MKE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 723 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
