Flights to Portland, OR
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Portland is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Portland International Airport (PDX), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field (SLE, 73 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portland International Airport | PDX | 9 km (6 mi) | 11,000 ft | 31 ft |
| Salem-Willamette Valley Airport/McNary Field (regional) | SLE | 73 km (45 mi) | 5,811 ft | 214 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, PDX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 31 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
