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 Limoges
Limoges is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Limoges Airport (LIG), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,202 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Brive Souillac airport (BVE, 90 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Brive Souillac airport (regional) | BVE | 90 km (56 mi) | 6,890 ft | 1,016 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,536 km (5,304 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
