Flights to Montevideo
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Montevideo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport (MVD), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport (PDP, 100 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport | MVD | 17 km (11 mi) | 10,499 ft | 105 ft |
| Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport (regional) | PDP | 100 km (62 mi) | 6,998 ft | 95 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,499 ft, MVD can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 105 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
