Arriving in Changchun

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Changchun Longjia International Airport | CGQ | 32 km (20 mi) | 10,500 ft | 706 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,048 km (5,001 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
