Airports at each end
Leaving Shenyang
Shenyang is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shenyang Taoxian International Airport (SHE), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Anshan Teng'ao Airport / Anshan Air Base (AOG, 90 km).
Arriving in Lille
Lille is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lille Airport (LIL), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,268 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST, 64 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lille Airport | LIL | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,268 ft | 157 ft |
| Ostend-Bruges International Airport | OST | 64 km (40 mi) | 10,499 ft | 13 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,225 km (5,111 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
