|---|---|---|---|---|
| Datong Yungang International Airport | DAT | 16 km (10 mi) | 9,843 ft | 3,442 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,843 ft, DAT handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 3,442 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
