Flights to Hongkou
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Hongkou is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 11,154-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG, 32 km), Jiaxing Nanhu Airport (JNH, 100 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport | SHA | 16 km (10 mi) | 11,154 ft | 10 ft |
| Shanghai Pudong International Airport | PVG | 32 km (20 mi) | 13,123 ft | 13 ft |
| Jiaxing Nanhu Airport (regional) | JNH | 100 km (62 mi) | 11,155 ft | 15 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,154 ft, SHA can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 10 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
