It’s located roughly 26–35 km north of central Wuhan, and ground connections usually include airport shuttle buses (about 40–60 minutes), taxis or ride-hailing (30–50 minutes depending on traffic) and the intercity metro line linking to the city center (around 35–45 minutes). Fares can range from modest shuttle fees to mid-range taxi fares. The airport is generally convenient for onward international connections and offers a wide range of amenities, though travel times can be longer at peak hours.
