Flights to Oldham
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Oldham is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Manchester Airport (MAN), 24 km (15 mi) from the centre, whose 10,007-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA, 47 km), Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL, 54 km), East Midlands Airport (EMA, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester Airport | MAN | 24 km (15 mi) | 10,007 ft | 257 ft |
| Leeds Bradford Airport | LBA | 47 km (29 mi) | 7,381 ft | 681 ft |

| East Midlands Airport | EMA | 95 km (59 mi) | 9,495 ft | 306 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,007 ft, MAN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 257 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
