Flights to Guilin
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Guilin is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Guilin Liangjiang International Airport (KWL), 27 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guilin Liangjiang International Airport | KWL | 27 km (17 mi) | 10,499 ft | 570 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,499 ft, KWL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 570 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
