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.

Plano is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Dallas Love Field (DAL), 24 km (15 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,800 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW, 34 km), Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (FTW, 66 km).
