What FUK to NRT looks like
The FUK to NRT sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Fukuoka FUK to Tokyo NRT is a short sector of 940 km by great circle, flown nonstop 14.4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 940 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 42m.
Fukuoka FUK is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 47 scheduled destinations and 294.4 departures a day. Tokyo NRT has 117 destinations and 361.5 departures a day.
Fukuoka and Tokyo 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 NRT from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUK to NRT | 14.43 | 101 | Jetstar Japan, Malta Medair |
| NRT to FUK | 14.57 | 102 | Jetstar Japan, Malta Medair |
Two carriers hold the sector, Jetstar Japan and Malta Medair, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 14.4 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 203 departures a week on FUK to NRT, 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 1h 42m block time on FUK to NRT. 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 NRT in the air, estimated | 102 min | 6h 12m |
| Formalities at NRT | 90 min | 7h 42m |
| Delivery run in Tokyo | 45 min | 8h 27m |
| Door to door | 507 min | 8h 27m |
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 NRT is 8h 27m.
A courier who leaves Fukuoka at 09:00 local is on the ground in Tokyo at about 10:42 local and at the door by 12:57 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Tokyo, the last useful departure from Fukuoka is around 14:03 local.
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. 20 of them join FUK to NRT.
| Connecting at | FUK to hub, flights a day | Hub to NRT, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Osaka KIX | 4.57 | 6.79 | 943 | 3h 23m |
| Busan PUS | 13.43 | 8.86 | 1,263 | 3h 40m |
| Jeju CJU | 1.14 | 0.71 | 1,661 | 4h 11m |
| Seoul ICN | 29.29 | 49.29 | 1,820 | 4h 41m |
| Sapporo CTS | 11.43 | 18.14 | 2,203 | 4h 58m |
| Okinawa OKA | 25.43 | 8 | 2,477 | 5h 10m |
With 14.4 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.
20 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Osaka KIX, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4.6 times a day.
Through KIX the routing covers 943 km against the 940 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 23m 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 41m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Busan PUS at 3h 40m and Jeju CJU at 4h 11m 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 Tokyo, Tokyo HND is 60 km away by great circle and carries 105 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Tokyo NRT is shut to scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Fukuoka late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Tokyo NRT, night restrictions: Scheduled movements are limited between 23:00 and 06:00 local; late departures usually route through Haneda instead.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Fukuoka later than about 21:18 local arrives at NRT after it has closed for the night, on the 1h 42m block time above.

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 NRT 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.
