Stara Zagora is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Plovdiv International Airport (PDV), 77 km (48 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plovdiv International Airport | PDV | 77 km (48 mi) | 8,202 ft | 597 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, PDV handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 597 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
