What CNX to KIX looks like
The CNX to KIX sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Chiang Mai CNX to Osaka KIX is a long haul sector of 3,976 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,976 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 5h 17m.
Chiang Mai CNX is a smaller airport in the network held here, 29 scheduled destinations and 87.6 departures a day. Osaka KIX has 70 destinations and 267.1 departures a day.
Osaka carries about 3.1 times the departures of Chiang Mai, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Osaka is 2 hours ahead of Chiang Mai 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 CNX to KIX from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNX to KIX | 0.43 | 3 | AeroVIP (Uruguay) |
| KIX to CNX | 0.43 | 3 | AeroVIP (Uruguay) |
One carrier holds the sector, AeroVIP (Uruguay), so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 6 departures a week on CNX to KIX, 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 5h 17m block time on CNX to KIX. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CNX | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CNX before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CNX to KIX in the air, estimated | 317 min | 9h 47m |
| Formalities at KIX | 90 min | 11h 17m |
| Delivery run in Osaka | 45 min | 12h 02m |
| Door to door | 722 min | 12h 02m |
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 CNX to KIX is 12h 02m.
A courier who leaves Chiang Mai at 09:00 local is on the ground in Osaka at about 16:17 local and at the door by 18:32 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Osaka, the last useful departure from Chiang Mai is around 08:28 local.
At 12h 02m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
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. 12 of them join CNX to KIX.
| Connecting at | CNX to hub, flights a day | Hub to KIX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hanoi HAN | 0.86 | 2.71 | 3,994 | 7h 01m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 2.29 | 1.43 | 4,028 | 7h 24m |
| Seoul ICN | 3.29 | 41.29 | 4,242 | 7h 25m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 1.86 | 18.71 | 4,081 | 7h 28m |
| Taipei TPE | 3.14 | 20.43 | 4,101 | 7h 29m |
| Shanghai PVG | 2.71 | 15 | 3,981 | 7h 35m |
12 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Hanoi HAN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 6 times a week.
Through HAN the routing covers 3,994 km against the 3,976 km nonstop track and takes about 7h 01m 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 44m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Guangzhou CAN at 7h 24m and Seoul ICN at 7h 25m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Osaka, Osaka ITM is 44 km away by great circle and carries 26 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 CNX to KIX 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.
