Orihuela is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Region of Murcia International Airport (RMU), 35 km (22 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport (ALC, 40 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Region of Murcia International Airport | RMU | 35 km (22 mi) | 9,842 ft | 644 ft |
| Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport | ALC | 40 km (25 mi) | 9,842 ft | 142 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,842 ft, RMU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 644 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
