Field and clock profile
Tianjin Binhai International Airport is a near sea-level field at 10 ft (3 m), positioned at 39.1244° N, 117.3460° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 11,811 ft / 3,600 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.

Country airport peers
TSN is compared with PKX Beijing at 90 km, PEK Beijing at 124 km, TNA Jinan (Licheng) at 252 km, DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) at 362 km, TAO Qingdao (Jiaozhou) at 390 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.

Civil Aviation Administration of China is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for TSN.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at tbia.cn, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for TSN
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
TSN uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Tianjin Binhai International Airport is about 15 km from central Tianjin; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
PKX Beijing is the closest retained alternate at 90 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
tbia.cn 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 TSN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
TSN ranks #20 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
TSN 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.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
TSN is 10 ft (3 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include CNS 10 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · GYD 10 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · SHA 10 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · SRG 10 ft (3 m) (0 ft delta) · BSR 11 ft (3 m) (1 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
TSN's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are PKX 90 km +0h · PEK 124 km +0h · TNA 252 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Tianjin 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.
Tianjin Binhai 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.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from TSN, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
