CSX Changsha

How deep the CSX board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CSX. This reads the same 101 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 52of the 101 destinations are flown by one airline
• 39destinations run less than once a day
• 27destinations have four or more departures a day
• 29.7%of the destinations name Xiamen Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CSX

45 airlines appear on the CSX board and they do not hold it evenly. Xiamen Airlines is on 30 of the 101 destinations, 29.7 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 141.5 of the 293.9 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is China Southern Airlines on 28 destinations. 14 of the 45 airlines at CSX appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at CSX: one airline on 29.7 per cent of the destinations and the other 70.3 per cent spread across 44 airlines. A cancellation inside the Xiamen Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 71 destinations Xiamen Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the CSX board is daily

Of the 101 destinations, 62 are flown at least once a day and 39 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CSX board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CSX to Huizhou (HUZ) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 69.5 of the 293.9 departures a day, 23.6 per cent of the whole board. The other 96 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at CSX usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of CSX where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 25 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CSX

The desk holds the return direction for 30 of the 101 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into CSX runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Bangkok (BKK) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Shanghai (PVG) files 9.4 a day back into CSX against 4.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CSX

CSX keeps Asia/Shanghai time, four hours ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 13:00 at CSX, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for five hours. A customs question raised in the last four hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at CSX until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at CSX

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from CSX that lands inside it leaves around 19:06, on a modelled block of 11h 24m. Those one departure times out of CSX are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where CSX turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the China country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 15 airport pair pages that start or end at CSX, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Changsha to Beijing (PKX), Changsha to Kunming (KMG) and Changsha to Xianyang (XIY).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CSX already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 101 destinations above.
