Flights to Lincang
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Lincang is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lincang Boshang Airport (LNJ), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,874 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cangyuan Washan Airport (CWJ, 100 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lincang Boshang Airport (regional) | LNJ | 17 km (11 mi) | 7,874 ft | 6,230 ft |
| Cangyuan Washan Airport (regional) | CWJ | 100 km (62 mi) | 8,530 ft | 0 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,874 ft, LNJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 6,230 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
