Flights to Peterborough
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Peterborough is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is London Luton Airport (LTN), 78 km (48 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,093 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are East Midlands Airport (EMA, 78 km), London Stansted Airport (STN, 83 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| London Luton Airport | LTN | 78 km (48 mi) | 7,093 ft | 526 ft |
| East Midlands Airport | EMA | 78 km (48 mi) | 9,495 ft | 306 ft |
| London Stansted Airport | STN | 83 km (52 mi) | 10,003 ft | 348 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,093 ft, LTN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 526 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
