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 Ţimā
Ţimā is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Asyut International Airport (ATZ), 45 km (28 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,905 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Suhaj International Airport (HMB, 70 km).
