Airports at each end
Leaving Shenzhen
Shenzhen is served by 5 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX), 29 km (18 mi) from the centre, whose 12,467-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Hong Kong International Airport (HKG, 30 km), Macau International Airport (MFM, 66 km), Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH, 93 km), Huizhou Pingtan Airport (HUZ, 78 km).
Arriving in Odessa
Odessa is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Midland International Air and Space Port (MAF), 19 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,501 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Midland International Air and Space Port (regional) | MAF | 19 km (12 mi) | 9,501 ft | 2,871 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 12,832 km (7,973 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
