Decision matrix for CKG
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
CKG uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport is about 19 km from central Chongqing; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
TFU Chengdu (Jianyang) is the closest retained alternate at 223 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
airport-chongqing.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place CKG inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
CKG ranks #3 in the curated China airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 25 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
CKG shares Asia/Shanghai with CAN Guangzhou (Huadu) CN · CGQ Changchun CN · CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) CN · DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) CN · HFE Hefei CN · HGH Hangzhou CN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
CKG is 1,365 ft (416 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include EBL 1,341 ft (409 m) (24 ft delta) · FKI 1,417 ft (432 m) (52 ft delta) · TAS 1,417 ft (432 m) (52 ft delta) · ZRH 1,417 ft (432 m) (52 ft delta) · YLW 1,421 ft (433 m) (56 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
