The second and third airports in the comparison—George Airport (GRJ) at 274 km and Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport (PLZ) at 571 km—sit 188 km or more farther from Worcester than CPT. They are relevant mainly if your trip starts or finishes in another region rather than as direct transfers for Worcester alone.

Our 36-airport directory also includes Worcester Glider Airport (FAWC) at 4 km (No regular flights listed) and Robertson Airport (ROD) at 46 km (No regular flights listed) and Cape Winelands Airport (FAWN) at 67 km (No regular flights listed). Because those airfields do not have confirmed regular passenger flights in this snapshot, they are listed separately below rather than ranked as standard airline options.
