What PUS to HGH looks like
The PUS to HGH sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Busan PUS to Hangzhou HGH is a short sector of 967 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 967 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 44m.
Busan PUS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 48 scheduled destinations and 175 departures a day. Hangzhou HGH has 117 destinations and 460.5 departures a day.
Hangzhou carries about 2.6 times the departures of Busan, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Hangzhou is one hour behind of Busan 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 PUS to HGH from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PUS to HGH | 0.71 | 5 | Loong Air |
| HGH to PUS | 0.43 | 3 | Loong Air |
One carrier holds the sector, Loong Air, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The two directions are not level: PUS to HGH runs 5 times a week, the return runs 3 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 8 departures a week on PUS to HGH, 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 1h 44m block time on PUS to HGH. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

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 HGH.
| Connecting at | PUS to hub, flights a day | Hub to HGH, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jeju CJU | 32.71 | 2.57 | 969 | 3h 26m |
| Shanghai PVG | 5.57 | 1.29 | 967 | 3h 46m |
| Seoul ICN | 5.86 | 3.86 | 1,316 | 4h 00m |
| Osaka KIX | 13.29 | 1.43 | 2,048 | 4h 43m |
| Taipei TPE | 18.14 | 1.86 | 1,922 | 4h 49m |
| Beijing PEK | 2 | 23.29 | 2,364 | 5h 31m |
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 twice a day.
Through CJU the routing covers 969 km against the 967 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 26m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Shanghai PVG at 3h 46m and Seoul ICN at 4h 00m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Busan, Fukuoka FUK is 225 km away by great circle and carries 47 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Hangzhou, Shanghai SHA is 138 km away by great circle and carries 60 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 PUS to HGH 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.
