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 Nice
Nice is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,721 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cuneo International Airport (CUF, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport | NCE | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,721 ft | 12 ft |
| Cuneo International Airport (regional) | CUF | 98 km (61 mi) | 6,903 ft | 1,267 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,922 km (5,544 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
