Whitby is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), 60 km (37 mi) from the centre, whose 11,120-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ, 47 km), Peterborough Regional Airport (YPQ, 60 km), Niagara District Airport (YCM, 79 km), Barrie-Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (YLK, 83 km), Niagara Falls International Airport (IAG, 86 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Pearson International Airport | YYZ | 60 km (37 mi) | 11,120 ft | 569 ft |
| Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (regional) | YTZ | 47 km (29 mi) | 3,988 ft | 252 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,120 ft, YYZ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 569 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
