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 Sukkur
Sukkur is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Begum Nusrat Bhutto International Airport Sukkur (SKZ), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Begum Nusrat Bhutto International Airport Sukkur (regional) | SKZ | 7 km (4 mi) | 9,000 ft | 196 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 3,420 km (2,125 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
