Flights to Nantes
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Nantes is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Nantes Atlantique Airport (NTE), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,514 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport (RNS, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nantes Atlantique Airport | NTE | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,514 ft | 90 ft |
| Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport (regional) | RNS | 96 km (60 mi) | 6,890 ft | 124 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,514 ft, NTE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 90 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
