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 Gwalior
Gwalior is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Gwalior Airport (GWL), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gwalior Airport (regional) | GWL | 9 km (6 mi) | 9,000 ft | 617 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 3,548 km (2,205 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
