Traveling by air is perhaps the most convenient and the fastest way to travel around China. Nowadays, most major cities in China feature large, state of the airports that provide travelers with modern facilities and world-class aircrafts. By the end of 2003, a total of 1,176 domestic and international airlines were operated in China. The four largest Chinese airlines are Air China, China Southern Airline, China Eastern Airlines, and Hainan Airlines.

Shuttle Bus conveniently provide transportation from airports to accessible city locations. If you are willing to pay a little more, taxis are widely available throughout China. 

There are two kinds of additional travel fees in China's airports, domestic and international. When one travels within China, an "airport construction fee" of 50 RMB is levied at all domestic airports. When catching a departing flight out of China, a departure tax of 90 RMB will be charged.
