Urumqi Diwopu International Airport (URC) serves as Xinjiang’s main international gateway and a regional hub for domestic and Central Asian flights, typically handling both full-service carriers like Air China and regional/budget operators. Located about 16–20 km northwest of Urumqi city centre, travel time is usually 25–40 minutes by taxi (fares roughly moderate for China) or 30–45 minutes on public buses and airport shuttles at lower cost. Car hire and ride-hailing are also common. Pros: good international connectivity and a range of airline choices; the terminal can be relatively modern and spacious. Cons: border-region security and distance can add time, and peak periods may feel crowded.
Beijing Capital International (PEK) and Beijing Daxing International (PKX) together serve the city as major international gateways and domestic hubs. Capital (PEK) has long been the traditional international hub, handling many full-service carriers and most long-haul flights, while Daxing (PKX) is a newer, high-capacity airport that often hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost operators and can be perceived as more modern but slightly farther out. Both lie roughly 25–50 km from Beijing’s central districts: Capital is about 30 km northeast of downtown and Daxing about 45 km to the south. Ground options include express airport trains taking roughly 20–35 minutes from PEK terminals to central stations and 30–50 minutes from PKX, plus airport buses, taxis, and app-based ride services; fares typically range from modest local rates for buses to mid-range taxi/ride costs depending on distance and traffic. Pros: extensive international connectivity, frequent public-transit links, and broad airline choice. Cons: both airports can be busy, transfer times between them may be significant, and journeys to the city can be affected by peak-hour congestion.
