Flights to Dali
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Dali is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Dali Fengyi Airport (DLU), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dali Fengyi Airport (regional) | DLU | 13 km (8 mi) | 8,202 ft | 7,050 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,202 ft, DLU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 7,050 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
