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).
Arriving in Savannah
Savannah is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,351 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Hilton Head Airport (HHH, 41 km), Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (BQK, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savannah Hilton Head International Airport | SAV | 11 km (7 mi) | 9,351 ft | 50 ft |
| Hilton Head Airport (regional) | HHH | 41 km (25 mi) | 5,000 ft | 19 ft |
| Brunswick Golden Isles Airport (regional) | BQK | 98 km (61 mi) | 8,001 ft | 26 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,016 km (8,088 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
