Flights to Hong Kong
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Hong Kong is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), 27 km (17 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, 55 km), Macau International Airport (MFM, 62 km), Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH, 88 km), Huizhou Pingtan Airport (HUZ, 96 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong International Airport | HKG | 27 km (17 mi) | 12,467 ft | 28 ft |
| Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport | SZX | 55 km (34 mi) | 12,467 ft | 13 ft |
| Macau International Airport | MFM | 62 km (39 mi) | 10,544 ft | 20 ft |
| Zhuhai Jinwan Airport | ZUH | 88 km (55 mi) | 13,517 ft | 23 ft |
| Huizhou Pingtan Airport (regional) | HUZ | 96 km (60 mi) | 7,874 ft | 50 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,467 ft, HKG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 28 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
