| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eppley Airfield | OMA | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,502 ft | 984 ft |
| Lincoln Airport (regional) | LNK | 83 km (52 mi) | 12,901 ft | 1,219 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,502 ft, OMA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 984 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
