Airports at each end
Leaving Monaco
Monaco is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,721 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cuneo International Airport (CUF, 92 km).
Arriving in Xi’an
Xi’an is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), 26 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xi'an Xianyang International Airport | XIY | 26 km (16 mi) | 12,467 ft | 1,572 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,265 km (5,136 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
