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 Luoyang
Luoyang is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Luoyang Beijiao Airport (LYA), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luoyang Beijiao Airport | LYA | 9 km (6 mi) | 8,202 ft | 840 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,427 km (4,615 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
