Winston-Salem is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 10,001-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (USA, 90 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piedmont Triad International Airport | GSO | 28 km (17 mi) | 10,001 ft | 925 ft |
| Concord-Padgett Regional Airport (regional) | USA | 90 km (56 mi) | 7,402 ft | 705 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,001 ft, GSO can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 925 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
