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 Split
Split is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Split Saint Jerome Airport (SPU), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,366 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Brač Airport (BWK, 32 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Split Saint Jerome Airport | SPU | 12 km (7 mi) | 8,366 ft | 79 ft |
| Brač Airport (regional) | BWK | 32 km (20 mi) | 5,774 ft | 1,776 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,760 km (4,822 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
