Flights to Santa Cruz
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Santa Cruz is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), 50 km (31 mi) from the centre, whose 12,261-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ninoy Aquino International Airport | MNL | 50 km (31 mi) | 12,261 ft | 75 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,261 ft, MNL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 75 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
