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.

Rotherham is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), 52 km (32 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,381 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Manchester Airport (MAN, 62 km), East Midlands Airport (EMA, 67 km), Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL, 100 km), Humberside Airport (HUY, 69 km).

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,188 km (5,088 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
