Airports at each end
Leaving Cairo
Cairo is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cairo International Airport (CAI), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 13,124-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Sphinx International Airport (SPX, 34 km), Capital International Airport (CCE, 57 km).
Arriving in Jinzhou
Jinzhou is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Jinzhou Bay Airport (JNZ), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Chaoyang Airport (CHG, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jinzhou Bay Airport (regional) | JNZ | 22 km (14 mi) | 8,202 ft | 0 ft |
| Chaoyang Airport (regional) | CHG | 76 km (47 mi) | 6,562 ft | 568 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,861 km (4,885 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
