Same aircraft, same route — return pricing is symmetric; flight times can vary about ±10% with wind direction.
Guide prices are one-way estimates incl. positioning; taxes/handling extra. Round-trip and one-way both available.
Every Manila–Shanghai quote is built fresh: distance and wind factor, fuel costs across the regions you cross, landing and handling fees, and live aircraft positioning. The figure shown is a guide; we confirm a firm price against live availability. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.
Both cities are served by several airports, giving flexibility on slots and routing:
Manila, Philippines: Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Shanghai, China: Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.
| Ninoy Aquino International Airport | Shanghai Pudong International Airport | |
|---|---|---|
| Code | RPLL / MNL | ZSPD / PVG |
| Longest hard runway | 12,261 ft | 13,123 ft |
| Surface | Concrete | Concrete |
| Field elevation | 75 ft | 13 ft |
15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Manila to Shanghai use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 134 km short after reserves on a 1,851 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Ninoy Aquino International Airport has 12,261 ft and Shanghai Pudong 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.
Alternates within range: Plaridel Airport (2,953 ft, 46 km) · Camaya Coast Airport (2,780 ft, 64 km) · Parañaque Seaplane Base · Sabang South Bay Seaplane Base · Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (11,154 ft, 45 km) · Jinshan City Beach Seaplane Base · Shanghai Tangchen Heliport · Aurora Plaza Helipad
Flexibility at both ends: we pick the most convenient airfield, not the busiest one.
