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 Valera
Valera is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport (VLV), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,791 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Barinas Airport (BNS, 89 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport (regional) | VLV | 3 km (2 mi) | 6,791 ft | 2,060 ft |
| Barinas Airport (regional) | BNS | 89 km (55 mi) | 6,560 ft | 615 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 16,436 km (10,213 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
