Airports at each end
Leaving Chengdu
Chengdu is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU, 53 km).
Arriving in Hartford
Hartford is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bradley International Airport (BDL), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,510 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN, 58 km), Westerly State Airport (WST, 87 km), Worcester Regional Airport (ORH, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bradley International Airport | BDL | 19 km (12 mi) | 9,510 ft | 173 ft |
| Tweed New Haven Airport (regional) | HVN | 58 km (36 mi) | 5,600 ft | 12 ft |
| Westerly State Airport (regional) | WST | 87 km (54 mi) | 4,010 ft | 81 ft |
| Worcester Regional Airport (regional) | ORH | 87 km (54 mi) | 7,001 ft | 1,009 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,954 km (7,428 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
