What CKG to MNL looks like
The CKG to MNL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Chongqing CKG to Manila MNL is a medium haul sector of 2,243 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,243 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 22m.
Chongqing CKG is a large airport in the network held here, 145 scheduled destinations and 451.1 departures a day. Manila MNL has 80 destinations and 426.8 departures a day.
Chongqing and Manila 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 CKG to MNL from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |

| CKG to MNL | 0.43 | 3 | Air China, Xiamen Airlines |
| MNL to CKG | 0.43 | 3 | Air China, Xiamen Airlines |
Two carriers hold the sector, Air China and Xiamen Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 6 departures a week on CKG to MNL, 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. 23 of them join CKG to MNL.
| Connecting at | CKG to hub, flights a day | Hub to MNL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Macau MFM | 0.71 | 2.29 | 2,247 | 4h 53m |
| Shenzhen SZX | 20.29 | 1.57 | 2,243 | 5h 06m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 19.14 | 4.71 | 2,244 | 5h 07m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 3.14 | 15.71 | 2,244 | 5h 07m |
| Xiamen XMN | 10.14 | 2.57 | 2,429 | 5h 07m |
| Hanoi HAN | 1.14 | 4.29 | 2,722 | 5h 29m |
23 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Macau MFM, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through MFM the routing covers 2,247 km against the 2,243 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 53m 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 31m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Shenzhen SZX at 5h 06m and Guangzhou CAN at 5h 07m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Chongqing, Chengdu TFU is 222 km away by great circle and carries 173 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 CKG to MNL 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.
