What FUK to ITM looks like
The FUK to ITM sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Fukuoka FUK to Osaka ITM is a short sector of 478 km by great circle, flown nonstop 12.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 478 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 12m.
Fukuoka FUK is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 47 scheduled destinations and 294.4 departures a day. Osaka ITM has 26 destinations and 201 departures a day.
Fukuoka and Osaka 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 FUK to ITM from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUK to ITM | 12.43 | 87 | ANA, IBEX Airlines |
| ITM to FUK | 12.57 | 88 | ANA, IBEX Airlines |
Two carriers hold the sector, ANA and IBEX Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 12.4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 175 departures a week on FUK to ITM, 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. 4 of them join FUK to ITM.
| Connecting at | FUK to hub, flights a day | Hub to ITM, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo HND | 63 | 33.86 | 1,285 | 3h 59m |
| Tokyo NRT | 14.43 | 2.29 | 1,402 | 4h 08m |
| Okinawa OKA | 25.43 | 6.86 | 2,076 | 4h 39m |
| Sapporo CTS | 11.43 | 11.43 | 2,455 | 5h 08m |
With 12.4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
4 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Tokyo HND, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 33.9 times a day.
Through HND the routing covers 1,285 km against the 478 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 59m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 2h 47m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Tokyo NRT at 4h 08m and Okinawa OKA at 4h 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 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.
If nothing suitable leaves Osaka, Osaka KIX is 44 km away by great circle and carries 70 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 ITM 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.
