What DAC to CKG looks like
The DAC to CKG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Dhaka DAC to Chongqing CKG is a medium haul sector of 1,738 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,738 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 43m.
Dhaka DAC is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 49 scheduled destinations and 172.2 departures a day. Chongqing CKG has 145 destinations and 451.1 departures a day.
Chongqing carries about 2.6 times the departures of Dhaka, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Chongqing is 2 hours ahead of Dhaka 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 DAC to CKG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAC to CKG | 1.14 | 8 | Beijing Capital Airlines, SF Airlines |

The return leg CKG to DAC 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 DAC to CKG, 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. 13 of them join DAC to CKG.
| Connecting at | DAC to hub, flights a day | Hub to CKG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kunming KMG | 1.14 | 6.29 | 1,906 | 4h 49m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 3.86 | 16.08 | 3,297 | 6h 28m |
| Bangkok BKK | 5.14 | 2.57 | 3,452 | 6h 39m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 1 | 3.14 | 3,507 | 6h 44m |
| Beijing PEK | 0.71 | 21.57 | 4,504 | 8h 02m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 7.14 | 2.43 | 5,686 | 9h 17m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at DAC in the afternoon actually flies on.
13 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Kunming KMG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through KMG the routing covers 1,906 km against the 1,738 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 49m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 06m 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 6h 28m and Bangkok BKK at 6h 39m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Dhaka, Kolkata CCU is 239 km away by great circle and carries 51 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
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 DAC to CKG 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.
