Airports at each end
Leaving Guangzhou
Guangzhou is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN), 31 km (19 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX, 78 km), Foshan Shadi Airport (FUO, 19 km).
Arriving in Fresno
Fresno is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,539 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Merced Regional Macready Field (MCE, 89 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresno Yosemite International Airport | FAT | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,539 ft | 336 ft |
| Merced Regional Macready Field (regional) | MCE | 89 km (55 mi) | 5,914 ft | 155 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,345 km (7,049 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
