Flights to Taiyuan
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Taiyuan is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Taiyuan Wusu International Airport (TYN), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taiyuan Wusu International Airport | TYN | 15 km (9 mi) | 11,811 ft | 2,575 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, TYN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,575 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
