| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 31 km (19 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |
| Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport | VRN | 83 km (52 mi) | 10,064 ft | 239 ft |
| Florence Airport, Peretola | FLR | 96 km (60 mi) | 5,118 ft | 142 ft |

| Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (regional) | VBS | 99 km (62 mi) | 9,810 ft | 355 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,196 ft, BLQ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 123 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
