WUH Wuhan

How deep the WUH board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from WUH. This reads the same 105 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.

• 53of the 105 destinations are flown by one airline
• 39destinations run less than once a day
• 30destinations have four or more departures a day
• 55.2%of the destinations name China Eastern Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at WUH

35 airlines appear on the WUH board and they do not hold it evenly. China Eastern Airlines is on 58 of the 105 destinations, 55.2 per cent of them, and on 18 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 223.3 of the 298 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 43 destinations. 11 of the 35 airlines at WUH 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.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 58 of the 105 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a WUH sector is usually another China Eastern Airlines aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at WUH than the destination count does.

How much of the WUH board is daily

Of the 105 destinations, 66 are flown at least once a day and 39 are not, 4 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the WUH 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: WUH to Yan'an (ENY) 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 61.8 of the 298 departures a day, 20.7 per cent of the whole board. The other 100 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at WUH usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of WUH 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. 28 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from WUH

The desk holds the return direction for 35 of the 105 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 35 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through WUH is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Haikou (HAK) files 10.4 a day back into WUH against 7.3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at WUH

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

The night at WUH

2 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 WUH that lands inside it leaves around 19:19, on a modelled block of 11h 11m. Into Sydney (SYD) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from WUH that lands inside it leaves around 10:39, on a modelled block of 10h 21m. Those two departure times out of WUH 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 WUH 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 18 airport pair pages that start or end at WUH, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Wuhan to Kunming (KMG), Wuhan to Chengdu (TFU) and Wuhan to Beijing (PKX).

One courier posting names WUH as the airport a courier here flies from: Wuhan.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with WUH already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 105 destinations above.
