Leaving Wuhan
Wuhan is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

Albany is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Albany International Airport (ALB), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,500 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 11,830 km (7,351 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
