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 Göttingen
Göttingen is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kassel Airport (KSF), 40 km (25 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Paderborn Lippstadt Airport (PAD, 91 km), Erfurt-Weimar Airport (ERF, 95 km).
