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 Rotterdam
Rotterdam is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM), 5 km (3 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,218 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS, 47 km), Eindhoven Airport (EIN, 81 km), Antwerp International Airport (Deurne) (ANR, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rotterdam The Hague Airport | RTM | 5 km (3 mi) | 7,218 ft | -15 ft |
| Amsterdam Airport Schiphol | AMS | 47 km (29 mi) | 12,467 ft | -11 ft |
| Eindhoven Airport | EIN | 81 km (50 mi) | 9,843 ft | 74 ft |
| Antwerp International Airport (Deurne) (regional) | ANR | 81 km (50 mi) | 4,954 ft | 39 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,053 km (5,004 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
