York is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), 39 km (24 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,381 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Humberside Airport (HUY, 64 km), Teesside International Airport (MME, 65 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leeds Bradford Airport | LBA | 39 km (24 mi) | 7,381 ft | 681 ft |
| Humberside Airport (regional) | HUY | 64 km (40 mi) | 7,218 ft | 121 ft |
| Teesside International Airport (regional) | MME | 65 km (40 mi) | 7,516 ft | 120 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,381 ft, LBA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 681 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
