Airports at each end
Leaving Trincomalee
Trincomalee is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is China Bay Airport (TRR), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,850 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
Arriving in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), 27 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX, 55 km), Macau International Airport (MFM, 62 km), Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH, 88 km), Huizhou Pingtan Airport (HUZ, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong International Airport | HKG | 27 km (17 mi) | 12,467 ft | 28 ft |
| Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport | SZX | 55 km (34 mi) | 12,467 ft | 13 ft |
| Macau International Airport | MFM | 62 km (39 mi) | 10,544 ft | 20 ft |
| Zhuhai Jinwan Airport | ZUH | 88 km (55 mi) | 13,517 ft | 23 ft |
| Huizhou Pingtan Airport (regional) | HUZ | 96 km (60 mi) | 7,874 ft | 50 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 3,833 km (2,382 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
