Flights to Puducherry
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Puducherry is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Pondicherry Airport (PNY), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,921 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pondicherry Airport (regional) | PNY | 4 km (2 mi) | 4,921 ft | 134 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,921 ft, PNY handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 134 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
