What FOC to HAN looks like
The FOC to HAN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Fuzhou FOC to Hanoi HAN is a medium haul sector of 1,505 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,505 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 25m.
Fuzhou FOC is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 80 scheduled destinations and 158.4 departures a day. Hanoi HAN has 87 destinations and 368.8 departures a day.
Hanoi is one hour behind of Fuzhou 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 FOC to HAN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOC to HAN | 0.71 | 5 | Xiamen Airlines |
| HAN to FOC | 0.71 | 5 | Xiamen Airlines |
One carrier holds the sector, Xiamen Airlines, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 9.9 departures a week on FOC to HAN, 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 2h 25m block time on FOC to HAN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to FOC | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At FOC before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| FOC to HAN in the air, estimated | 145 min | 6h 55m |
| Formalities at HAN | 90 min | 8h 25m |
| Delivery run in Hanoi | 45 min | 9h 10m |
| Door to door | 550 min | 9h 10m |
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 FOC to HAN is 9h 10m.
A courier who leaves Fuzhou at 09:00 local is on the ground in Hanoi at about 10:25 local and at the door by 12:40 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Hanoi, the last useful departure from Fuzhou is around 14:20 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. 24 of them join FOC to HAN.
| Connecting at | FOC to hub, flights a day | Hub to HAN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiamen XMN | 1.14 | 1.14 | 1,534 | 4h 00m |
| Macau MFM | 0.57 | 1.14 | 1,557 | 4h 08m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 6.29 | 7.86 | 1,510 | 4h 19m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 2.16 | 4.57 | 1,555 | 4h 23m |
| Taipei TPE | 1.14 | 8 | 1,817 | 4h 36m |
| Changsha CSX | 4.29 | 0.86 | 1,762 | 4h 39m |
24 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Xiamen XMN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through XMN the routing covers 1,534 km against the 1,505 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 00m 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 35m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Macau MFM at 4h 08m and Guangzhou CAN at 4h 19m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Fuzhou, Taipei TPE is 184 km away by great circle and carries 108 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 FOC to HAN 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.
