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.

Arriving in Lincoln
Lincoln is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Eppley Airfield (OMA), 86 km (53 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,502 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Lincoln Airport (LNK, 9 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Lincoln Airport (regional) | LNK | 9 km (6 mi) | 12,901 ft | 1,219 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,787 km (7,324 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
