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 Kŭlob
Kŭlob is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Kulob International Airport (TJU), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,843 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Bokhtar International Airport (KQT, 81 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kulob International Airport | TJU | 8 km (5 mi) | 9,843 ft | 2,293 ft |
| Bokhtar International Airport | KQT | 81 km (50 mi) | 7,497 ft | 1,473 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 4,129 km (2,566 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
