Airports at each end
Leaving Beijing
Beijing is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX, 45 km).
Arriving in Hobart
Hobart is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Hobart International Airport (HBA), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,947 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobart International Airport | HBA | 16 km (10 mi) | 8,947 ft | 13 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,717 km (6,038 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
