Flights to Tongren
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tongren is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Gannan Xiahe Airport (GXH), 95 km (59 mi) from the centre, whose 10,499-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gannan Xiahe Airport (regional) | GXH | 95 km (59 mi) | 10,499 ft | 10,510 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,499 ft, GXH can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 10,510 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.
