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 Khenchela
Khenchela is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Batna Mostefa Ben Boulaid Airport (BLJ), 83 km (52 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cheikh Larbi Tébessi Airport (TEE, 89 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batna Mostefa Ben Boulaid Airport | BLJ | 83 km (52 mi) | 9,843 ft | 2,697 ft |
| Cheikh Larbi Tébessi Airport (regional) | TEE | 89 km (55 mi) | 9,843 ft | 2,661 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,946 km (5,559 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
