Airports at each end
Leaving Xi’an
Xi’an is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Xi'an Xianyang International Airport (XIY), 26 km (16 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Bălţi
Bălţi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Iaşi International Airport (IAS), 69 km (43 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,874 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
