Flights to Santiago
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Santiago is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Cauayan Airport (CYZ), 35 km (22 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,890 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cauayan Airport (regional) | CYZ | 35 km (22 mi) | 6,890 ft | 200 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,890 ft, CYZ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 200 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
