Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mobile is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Pensacola International Airport (PNS), 86 km (53 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,004 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Mobile Regional Airport (MOB, 19 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pensacola International Airport | PNS | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,004 ft | 121 ft |
| Mobile Regional Airport (regional) | MOB | 19 km (12 mi) | 8,502 ft | 219 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,004 ft, PNS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 121 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
