Generally, Shanghai Pudong International Airport is the international airport hub, while Shanghai Hongqiao airport is the domestic hub for Shanghai, via which you can fly to most Chinese cities. However, some international flights dock in SHA. SHA functions as a standby airport for international flights, in case of dense fog or other unexpected situations in PVG.
SHA Hongqiao airport is about 10 kilometers west of the downtown. One of the airport's advantages is it is much closer to the city center than Pudong airport. Airport shuttle bus line 1 facilitates transfers between the city's two airports. Hongqiao Airport special line connects Hongqiao airport and Jingan Temple (Changde Road and West Nanjing Road).
No Metro line connects with Hongqiao airport, but the situation will change soon. The Metro Line No. 2 will be extended west to the airport, and the extension is expected to start operation this year.
