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).

Sincelejo is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Las Brujas Airport (CZU), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,930 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Los Garzones Airport (MTR, 72 km).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Las Brujas Airport (regional) | CZU | 12 km (7 mi) | 4,930 ft | 528 ft |
| Los Garzones Airport (regional) | MTR | 72 km (45 mi) | 7,539 ft | 41 ft |
