Airports at each end
Leaving Chengdu
Chengdu is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU, 53 km).

Constantine is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport (CZL), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Batna Mostefa Ben Boulaid Airport (BLJ, 73 km), Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport (GJL, 82 km).
