Flights to Ranchi
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ranchi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Birsa Munda Airport (IXR), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,855 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Birsa Munda Airport (regional) | IXR | 3 km (2 mi) | 8,855 ft | 2,148 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,855 ft, IXR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,148 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
