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 Modena
Modena is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), 31 km (19 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,196 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport (VRN, 83 km), Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR, 96 km), Parma Airport (PMF, 53 km), Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (VBS, 99 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport | BLQ | 31 km (19 mi) | 9,196 ft | 123 ft |
| Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport | VRN | 83 km (52 mi) | 10,064 ft | 239 ft |

| Brescia Gabriele d'Annunzio Airport (regional) | VBS | 99 km (62 mi) | 9,810 ft | 355 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,974 km (4,955 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
