Flights to Salzburg
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Salzburg is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Salzburg Airport (SZG), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,022 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Linz-Hörsching Airport (LNZ, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salzburg Airport | SZG | 3 km (2 mi) | 9,022 ft | 1,411 ft |
| Linz-Hörsching Airport | LNZ | 98 km (61 mi) | 9,843 ft | 980 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,022 ft, SZG handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 1,411 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
