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 London
London is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is London International Airport (YXU), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,800 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF, 87 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| London International Airport (regional) | YXU | 9 km (6 mi) | 8,800 ft | 912 ft |
| Region of Waterloo International Airport (regional) | YKF | 87 km (54 mi) | 7,003 ft | 1,054 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,909 km (7,400 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
