What FUK to MNL looks like
The FUK to MNL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Fukuoka FUK to Manila MNL is a medium haul sector of 2,324 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,324 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 28m.
Fukuoka FUK is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 47 scheduled destinations and 294.4 departures a day. Manila MNL has 80 destinations and 426.8 departures a day.
Manila is one hour behind of Fukuoka 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 FUK to MNL from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUK to MNL | 1.57 | 11 | Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines |
| MNL to FUK | 1.57 | 11 | Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines |
Two carriers hold the sector, Cebu Pacific Air and Philippine Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 22 departures a week on FUK to MNL, 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 3h 28m block time on FUK to MNL. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to FUK | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At FUK before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| FUK to MNL in the air, estimated | 208 min | 7h 58m |

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 FUK to MNL is 10h 13m.

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 FUK to MNL.
| Connecting at | FUK to hub, flights a day | Hub to MNL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kaohsiung KHH | 2.14 | 1.86 | 2,473 | 5h 10m |
| Taipei TPE | 9.57 | 13.14 | 2,475 | 5h 25m |
| Busan PUS | 13.43 | 1.14 | 2,656 | 5h 26m |
| Shanghai PVG | 4 | 3.14 | 2,707 | 5h 58m |
| Osaka KIX | 4.57 | 3 | 3,087 | 6h 02m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 9.43 | 15.71 | 3,193 | 6h 20m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at FUK in the afternoon actually flies on.
17 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Kaohsiung KHH, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through KHH the routing covers 2,473 km against the 2,324 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 10m 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, Taipei TPE at 5h 25m and Busan PUS at 5h 26m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Fukuoka, Busan PUS is 225 km away by great circle and carries 48 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 FUK 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.
