Airports at each end
Leaving Shenzhen
Shenzhen is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX), 29 km (18 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Hong Kong International Airport (HKG, 30 km), Macau International Airport (MFM, 66 km), Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH, 93 km), Huizhou Pingtan Airport (HUZ, 78 km).
Arriving in Anaco
Anaco is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport (BLA), 80 km (50 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,842 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are San Tomé Airport (SOM, 64 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport | BLA | 80 km (50 mi) | 9,842 ft | 30 ft |
| San Tomé Airport (regional) | SOM | 64 km (40 mi) | 6,299 ft | 861 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 16,456 km (10,225 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
