Flights to Xiamen
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Xiamen is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport (XMN), 8 km (5 mi) from the centre, whose 11,155-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport (JJN, 62 km), Kinmen Airport (KNH, 29 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport | XMN | 8 km (5 mi) | 11,155 ft | 59 ft |
| Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport | JJN | 62 km (39 mi) | 8,530 ft | 39 ft |
| Kinmen Airport (regional) | KNH | 29 km (18 mi) | 9,843 ft | 93 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,155 ft, XMN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 59 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
