Flights to Xichang
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Xichang is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Xichang Qingshan Airport (XIC), 13 km (8 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xichang Qingshan Airport (regional) | XIC | 13 km (8 mi) | 11,811 ft | 5,112 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, XIC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 5,112 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.
