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 Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is OKC Will Rogers World Airport (OKC), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,802 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO, 86 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OKC Will Rogers World Airport | OKC | 11 km (7 mi) | 9,802 ft | 1,295 ft |
| Stillwater Regional Airport (regional) | SWO | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,401 ft | 1,000 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 12,323 km (7,657 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
