Sunan Shuofang International Airport is a near sea-level field at 24 ft (7 m), positioned at 31.4970° N, 120.4304° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 10,499 ft / 3,200 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.
Wuxi is the closest retained city-time anchor at 16 km. SHA Shanghai (Minhang) is the closest retained airport alternative at 92 km.
WUX is compared with SHA Shanghai (Minhang) at 92 km, PVG Shanghai (Pudong) at 136 km, HGH Hangzhou at 140 km, NKG Nanjing at 150 km, HFE Hefei at 331 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.
WUX-SHA Shanghai (Minhang): 92 km, about 57m, +0h. WUX-PVG Shanghai (Pudong): 136 km, about 1h 0m, +0h. WUX-HGH Hangzhou: 140 km, about 1h 1m, +0h. WUX-NKG Nanjing: 150 km, about 1h 1m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.

OurAirports classifies WUX as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Wuxi.
WUX (ZSWX) is one of the curated airport pages with a real traffic signal attached: 10 million annual passengers reached in 2024, operating from a near sea-level field at 24 ft (7 m).
WUX also has a clear airline-network role: the source summary describes it as yangtze river delta airport with two terminals, a 3,200 m runway, and wuxi/suzhou regional demand..
WUX's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 10,499 ft / 3,200 m and source surfaces recorded as ASPH.
Sunan Shuofang International Airport Co. is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for WUX.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at Wuxi Shuofang Airport, 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.
WUX uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Sunan Shuofang International Airport is about 16 km from central Wuxi; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
SHA Shanghai (Minhang) is the closest retained alternate at 92 km, time difference +0h.
The accepted airport reference came from en.wikipedia.org; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place WUX inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
WUX ranks #23 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.
WUX 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.
WUX is 24 ft (7 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include YIA 24 ft (7 m) (0 ft delta) · AKL 23 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta) · HGH 23 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta) · ICN 23 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta) · KNO 23 ft (7 m) (1 ft delta).
