Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Windsor is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Windsor International Airport (YQG), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW, 29 km), Bishop International Airport (FNT, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor International Airport | YQG | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,000 ft | 622 ft |
| Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport | DTW | 29 km (18 mi) | 12,003 ft | 645 ft |
| Bishop International Airport (regional) | FNT | 95 km (59 mi) | 7,852 ft | 782 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,000 ft, YQG handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 622 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
