| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Umeå Airport | UME | 4 km (2 mi) | 7,551 ft | 24 ft |
| Örnsköldsvik Airport (regional) | OER | 78 km (48 mi) | 6,607 ft | 354 ft |
| Skellefteå Airport (regional) | SFT | 97 km (60 mi) | 8,268 ft | 157 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,551 ft, UME handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 24 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
