CKG Chongqing

How deep the CKG board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CKG. This reads the same 145 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.

• 70of the 145 destinations are flown by one airline
• 54destinations run less than once a day
• 38destinations have four or more departures a day
• 30.3%of the destinations name Sichuan Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CKG

49 airlines appear on the CKG board and they do not hold it evenly. Sichuan Airlines is on 44 of the 145 destinations, 30.3 per cent of them, and on 1 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 306.2 of the 451.1 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 West Air (China) on 43 destinations. 20 of the 49 airlines at CKG 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 CKG: one airline on 30.3 per cent of the destinations and the other 69.7 per cent spread across 48 airlines. A cancellation inside the Sichuan Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 101 destinations Sichuan 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 CKG board is daily

Of the 145 destinations, 91 are flown at least once a day and 54 are not, 5 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CKG 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: CKG to Sydney (SYD) 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 90.2 of the 451.1 departures a day, 20 per cent of the whole board. The other 140 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at CKG usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of CKG 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. 39 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CKG

The desk holds the return direction for 49 of the 145 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into CKG runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Vientiane (VTE) at 1 out a day against 0.33 back, Harbin (HRB) at 3.4 out a day against 2.3 back and Colombo (CMB) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Shanghai (PVG) files 20.1 a day back into CKG against 10.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CKG

CKG 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 CKG, 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 CKG until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at CKG

5 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 Tokyo (NRT) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CKG that lands inside it leaves around 17:38, on a modelled block of 4h 22m. Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CKG that lands inside it leaves around 18:32, on a modelled block of 10h 28m. Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from CKG that lands inside it leaves around 19:43, on a modelled block of 10h 47m. Those three departure times out of CKG 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 CKG turns up on the rest of this site

CKG carries two other pages on this site as well: the China country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the CKG transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 27 airport pair pages that start or end at CKG, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Chongqing to Beijing (PEK), Chongqing to Shenzhen (SZX) and Chongqing to Guangzhou (CAN).

One courier posting names CKG as the airport a courier here flies from: Chongqing.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CKG already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 145 destinations above.
