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).

Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) is the city's main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some international low-cost operators.

PVG is generally seen as the better option for international connections and premium services, with plentiful lounges and shopping, but it can feel busy and involve longer transfer times between terminals. Good on connectivity, but allow extra time for customs and transit.
