Chongqing is served primarily by Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), a major inland gateway and international hub that handles both full-service carriers and many low-cost and regional airlines.

Options include the metro line (roughly 30–45 minutes, low fare), airport shuttle buses (45–60 minutes, modest fare), taxis or ride-hailing (30–60 minutes, fare varies with distance and traffic), and private transfers. Pros: extensive route network and modern facilities; cons: travel times can be long due to the city’s size and traffic, and terminals may be busy during peak travel periods.
