Airports at each end
Leaving Beijing
Beijing is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), 25 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX, 45 km).
Arriving in Akron
Akron is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE), 46 km (29 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, 19 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cleveland Hopkins International Airport | CLE | 46 km (29 mi) | 9,953 ft | 791 ft |
| Akron Canton Regional Airport (regional) | CAK | 19 km (12 mi) | 8,204 ft | 1,228 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,829 km (6,729 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
