What PUS to FUK looks like
The PUS to FUK sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Busan PUS to Fukuoka FUK is a short sector of 225 km by great circle, flown nonstop 13.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 225 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 50 min.
Busan PUS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 48 scheduled destinations and 175 departures a day. Fukuoka FUK has 47 destinations and 294.4 departures a day.
Busan and Fukuoka keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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 PUS to FUK from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUS to FUK | 13.43 | 94 | Air Busan, EASTAR JET, Jeju Air, Jin Air, T'Way Air |
| FUK to PUS | 13.43 | 94 | Air Busan, EASTAR JET, Jeju Air, Jin Air, T'Way Air |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 13.4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 188 departures a week on PUS to FUK, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 50 min block time on PUS to FUK. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to PUS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At PUS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| PUS to FUK in the air, estimated | 50 min | 5h 20m |
| Formalities at FUK | 90 min | 6h 50m |
| Delivery run in Fukuoka | 45 min | 7h 35m |
| Door to door | 455 min | 7h 35m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for PUS to FUK is 7h 35m.
A courier who leaves Busan at 09:00 local is on the ground in Fukuoka at about 09:50 local and at the door by 12:05 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Fukuoka, the last useful departure from Busan is around 14:55 local.
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. 17 of them join PUS to FUK.
| Connecting at | PUS to hub, flights a day | Hub to FUK, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jeju CJU | 32.71 | 1.14 | 658 | 2h 58m |
| Osaka KIX | 13.29 | 4.57 | 1,034 | 3h 31m |
| Seoul ICN | 5.86 | 29.29 | 901 | 3h 35m |
| Nagoya NGO | 2.29 | 9.86 | 1,318 | 3h 56m |
| Okinawa OKA | 1.86 | 25.43 | 1,871 | 4h 23m |
| Shanghai PVG | 5.57 | 4 | 1,657 | 4h 37m |
With 13.4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
17 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Jeju CJU, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through CJU the routing covers 658 km against the 225 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 08m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Osaka KIX at 3h 31m and Seoul ICN at 3h 35m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 225 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 3h 31m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.

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 PUS to FUK 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.
