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.

Providence is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,700 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Boston Logan International Airport (BOS, 69 km), Newport State Airport (NPT, 34 km), New Bedford Regional Airport (EWB, 41 km), Westerly State Airport (WST, 62 km), Worcester Regional Airport (ORH, 62 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport | PVD | 11 km (7 mi) | 8,700 ft | 55 ft |
| Boston Logan International Airport | BOS | 69 km (43 mi) | 10,083 ft | 20 ft |

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,941 km (7,420 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
