Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is a low-elevation field at 1,440 ft (439 m), positioned at 30.3125° N, 104.4413° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 13,123 ft / 4,000 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Ziyang is the closest retained city-time anchor at 29 km. CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) is the closest retained airport alternative at 55 km.
TFU is compared with CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) at 55 km, CKG Chongqing at 223 km, XIY Xianyang (Weicheng) at 612 km, INC Yinchuan at 908 km, WUH Wuhan (Huangpi) at 937 km inside the retained China airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
TFU-CKG Chongqing: 223 km, about 1h 7m, +0h. TFU-XIY Xianyang (Weicheng): 612 km, about 1h 37m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies TFU as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Chengdu (Jianyang).
TFU (ZUTF) is a low-elevation field at 1,440 ft (439 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
TFU sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
TFU's runway record lists 3 runways, with the longest runway at 13,123 ft / 4,000 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (3).
Civil aviation oversight for TFU runs through Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at sctfia.com, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
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.
TFU uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Chengdu Tianfu International Airport is about 53 km from central Chengdu (Jianyang); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) is the closest retained alternate at 55 km, time difference +0h.
sctfia.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.
These comparisons place TFU inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
TFU ranks #18 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.
TFU shares Asia/Shanghai with CAN Guangzhou (Huadu) CN · CGQ Changchun CN · CKG Chongqing CN · CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) CN · DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) CN · HFE Hefei CN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
TFU is 1,440 ft (439 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include YLW 1,421 ft (433 m) (19 ft delta) · FKI 1,417 ft (432 m) (23 ft delta) · TAS 1,417 ft (432 m) (23 ft delta) · ZRH 1,417 ft (432 m) (23 ft delta) · MUC 1,487 ft (453 m) (47 ft delta).
TFU's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are CTU 55 km +0h · CKG 223 km +0h · XIY 612 km +0h.

TFU to CKG
Distance 223 km; estimated travel window 1h 7m; destination zone Asia/Shanghai is +0h from TFU. Use the live destination clock on this page as a cross-timezone planning cue, not as a live flight schedule.
TFU to XIY
Distance 612 km; estimated travel window 1h 37m; destination zone Asia/Shanghai is +0h from TFU. Use the live destination clock on this page as a cross-timezone planning cue, not as a live flight schedule.
Because the airport sits well outside central Chengdu (Jianyang), surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Chengdu is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Chengdu Tianfu International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from TFU, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport does not have a long carrier list in the current source trail, so this page emphasizes the durable pieces travelers can safely use here: local time, field identifiers, nearby airports, and timezone differences.
The route timing references show the first cross-timezone planning burden after this airport: Chongqing (CKG), Xianyang (Weicheng) (XIY). Treat them as distance and clock cues, then verify flight availability with the carrier.
