Airports at each end
Leaving Wuhan
Wuhan is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Ezhou Huahu International Airport (EHU, 79 km).
Arriving in Arīsh
Arīsh is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is El Arish International Airport (AAC), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,905 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| El Arish International Airport | AAC | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,905 ft | 118 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,489 km (4,654 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
