Taiyuan Wusu International Airport is a moderate-elevation field at 2,575 ft (785 m), positioned at 37.7469° N, 112.6280° 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.
Yuci is the closest retained city-time anchor at 12 km. PKX Beijing is the closest retained airport alternative at 382 km.
TYN is compared with PKX Beijing at 382 km, TNA Jinan (Licheng) at 418 km, PEK Beijing at 430 km, TSN Tianjin at 438 km, XIY Xianyang (Weicheng) at 506 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.
TYN-PKX Beijing: 382 km, about 1h 19m, +0h. TYN-TNA Jinan (Licheng): 418 km, about 1h 22m, +0h. TYN-PEK Beijing: 430 km, about 1h 23m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies TYN as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Taiyuan.
TYN (ZBYN) is a moderate-elevation field at 2,575 ft (785 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
TYN sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
TYN's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 11,811 ft / 3,600 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (2).
Civil aviation oversight for TYN 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 lt.sxairport.org.cn, 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.
TYN uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Taiyuan Wusu International Airport is about 15 km from central Taiyuan; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
PKX Beijing is the closest retained alternate at 382 km, time difference +0h.
lt.sxairport.org.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.
These comparisons place TYN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
TYN ranks #21 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.
TYN 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.
TYN is 2,575 ft (785 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include ADJ 2,555 ft (779 m) (20 ft delta) · CGH 2,631 ft (802 m) (56 ft delta) · TUS 2,643 ft (806 m) (68 ft delta) · GRU 2,461 ft (750 m) (114 ft delta) · GYN 2,450 ft (747 m) (125 ft delta).
