Leaving Changchun

York is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), 39 km (24 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,381 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Humberside Airport (HUY, 64 km), Teesside International Airport (MME, 65 km).
