Newport News is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Norfolk International Airport (ORF), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,001 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Richmond International Airport (RIC, 98 km), Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (PHF, 18 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norfolk International Airport | ORF | 22 km (14 mi) | 9,001 ft | 26 ft |

| Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (regional) | PHF | 18 km (11 mi) | 8,003 ft | 42 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,001 ft, ORF handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 26 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
