Airports at each end
Leaving Chongqing
Chongqing is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Mobile
Mobile is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Pensacola International Airport (PNS), 86 km (53 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,004 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Mobile Regional Airport (MOB, 19 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pensacola International Airport | PNS | 86 km (53 mi) | 7,004 ft | 121 ft |
| Mobile Regional Airport (regional) | MOB | 19 km (12 mi) | 8,502 ft | 219 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,139 km (8,164 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
