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 Rome
Rome is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,226 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO, 24 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport | CIA | 12 km (7 mi) | 7,226 ft | 427 ft |
| Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport | FCO | 24 km (15 mi) | 12,801 ft | 13 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,175 km (5,080 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
