Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Syracuse is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,013 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport (ITH, 67 km), Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field (BGM, 94 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Syracuse Hancock International Airport | SYR | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,013 ft | 421 ft |
| Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport (regional) | ITH | 67 km (42 mi) | 6,977 ft | 1,099 ft |
| Greater Binghamton/Edwin A Link field (regional) | BGM | 94 km (58 mi) | 7,305 ft | 1,636 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,013 ft, SYR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 421 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
