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 Jaén
Jaén is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport (GRX), 65 km (40 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,514 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Córdoba Airport (ODB, 93 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport (regional) | GRX | 65 km (40 mi) | 9,514 ft | 1,860 ft |
| Córdoba Airport (regional) | ODB | 93 km (58 mi) | 7,352 ft | 297 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,446 km (5,869 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
