Airports at each end
Leaving Odense
Odense is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Odense Hans Christian Andersen Airport (ODE), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,053 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Billund Airport (BLL, 86 km), Sønderborg Airport (SGD, 61 km).
Arriving in Ürümqi
Ürümqi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport (URC), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ürümqi Tianshan International Airport | URC | 16 km (10 mi) | 11,811 ft | 2,125 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 5,412 km (3,363 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
