Flights to Stanley
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Stanley is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Mount Pleasant Airport / RAF Mount Pleasant (MPN), 43 km (27 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,497 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mount Pleasant Airport / RAF Mount Pleasant (regional) | MPN | 43 km (27 mi) | 8,497 ft | 244 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,497 ft, MPN handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 244 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
