What PKX to HAN looks like
The PKX to HAN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Beijing PKX to Hanoi HAN is a medium haul sector of 2,270 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,270 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 24m.
Beijing PKX is a major hub in the network held here, 159 scheduled destinations and 553.7 departures a day. Hanoi HAN has 87 destinations and 368.8 departures a day.
Hanoi is one hour behind of Beijing all year.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on PKX to HAN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PKX to HAN | 1.14 | 8 | VietJetAir |
| HAN to PKX | 0 | 0 | none held |
One carrier holds the sector, VietJetAir, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The return leg HAN to PKX carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
Between them the two directions put about 8 departures a week on PKX to HAN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 32 of them join PKX to HAN.
| Connecting at | PKX to hub, flights a day | Hub to HAN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chongqing CKG | 14.86 | 1.14 | 2,356 | 5h 16m |
| Changsha CSX | 21 | 0.86 | 2,370 | 5h 17m |
| Chengdu TFU | 8.29 | 1.43 | 2,513 | 5h 27m |
| Macau MFM | 1.57 | 1.14 | 2,760 | 5h 31m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 26.56 | 7.86 | 2,624 | 5h 36m |
| Kunming KMG | 19.14 | 1.14 | 2,559 | 5h 37m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at PKX in the afternoon actually flies on.
32 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Chongqing CKG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through CKG the routing covers 2,356 km against the 2,270 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 16m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 52m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Changsha CSX at 5h 17m and Chengdu TFU at 5h 27m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Beijing, Beijing PEK is 65 km away by great circle and carries 201 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for PKX to HAN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
