Flights to New Delhi
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
New Delhi is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 14,534-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Noida International Airport (DXN, 63 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indira Gandhi International Airport | DEL | 14 km (9 mi) | 14,534 ft | 777 ft |
| Noida International Airport | DXN | 63 km (39 mi) | 12,975 ft | 644 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,534 ft, DEL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 777 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
