| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport | VRN | 80 km (50 mi) | 10,064 ft | 239 ft |
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 82 km (51 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |

| Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (regional) | VBS | 70 km (43 mi) | 9,810 ft | 355 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,064 ft, VRN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 239 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
