Airports at each end
Leaving Harbin
Harbin is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Harbin Taiping International Airport (HRB), 34 km (21 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Norwich
Norwich is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Norwich Airport (NWI), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,043 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norwich Airport (regional) | NWI | 5 km (3 mi) | 6,043 ft | 118 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,904 km (4,911 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
