Airports at each end
Leaving Chemnitz
Chemnitz is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dresden Airport (DRS), 67 km (42 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,350 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Karlovy Vary Airport (KLV, 70 km), Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ, 81 km).
Arriving in Harbin
Harbin is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Harbin Taiping International Airport (HRB), 34 km (21 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harbin Taiping International Airport | HRB | 34 km (21 mi) | 11,811 ft | 457 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,537 km (4,683 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
