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 Milwaukee
Milwaukee is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,990 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Mitchell International Airport | MKE | 10 km (6 mi) | 9,990 ft | 723 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 10,474 km (6,508 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
