Airports at each end
Leaving Chongqing
Chongqing is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Cleveland
Cleveland is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,953 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Akron Canton Regional Airport (CAK, 68 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland Hopkins International Airport | CLE | 16 km (10 mi) | 9,953 ft | 791 ft |
| Akron Canton Regional Airport (regional) | CAK | 68 km (42 mi) | 8,204 ft | 1,228 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 12,068 km (7,499 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
