Topeka is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kansas City International Airport (MCI), 88 km (55 mi) from the centre, whose 10,801-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK, 86 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kansas City International Airport | MCI | 88 km (55 mi) | 10,801 ft | 1,026 ft |
| Manhattan Regional Airport (regional) | MHK | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,400 ft | 1,057 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,801 ft, MCI can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 1,026 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
