Private departures on this route use the following airports — we will recommend the best fit for your schedule:
Lanzhou, China: Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport.
Lhasa, China: Lhasa Gonggar International Airport.
| Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport | Lhasa Gonggar International Airport | |
|---|---|---|
| Code | ZLLL / LHW | ZULS / LXA |
| Longest hard runway | 13,123 ft | 13,123 ft |
| Surface | Asphalt | Concrete |
| Field elevation | 6,388 ft | 11,713 ft |
Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport is at 6,388 ft, high enough to reduce performance on a warm day; your operator may limit payload on departure.
Lhasa Gonggar International Airport sits at 11,713 ft. At this altitude thinner air lengthens the takeoff roll and cuts maximum weight — expect a payload or fuel trade on arrival.
All 16 aircraft we quote for Lanzhou to Lhasa can use both airfields and fly the route non-stop. Lanzhou Zhongchuan International Airport has 13,123 ft and Lhasa Gonggar International Airport 13,123 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are. At 1,430 km it is close to the limit for the shortest-legged aircraft here, the Embraer Phenom 100EV at 2,180 km.
