What HAN to NNG looks like
The HAN to NNG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Hanoi HAN to Nanning NNG is a short sector of 289 km by great circle, flown nonstop 2 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 289 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 56 min.
Hanoi HAN is a large airport in the network held here, 87 scheduled destinations and 368.8 departures a day. Nanning NNG has 74 destinations and 136.2 departures a day.
Hanoi carries about 2.7 times the departures of Nanning, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Nanning is one hour ahead of Hanoi 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 HAN to NNG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| HAN to NNG | 0.29 | 2 | Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines |
| NNG to HAN | 0.29 | 2 | Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines |
One carrier holds the sector, Guangxi Beibu Gulf Airlines, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
At 2 times a week the nonstop is thin enough that a consignment which misses it waits days rather than hours, which is the case for reading the routings below before promising anything.
Between them the two directions put about 4.1 departures a week on HAN to NNG, 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 56 min block time on HAN to NNG. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to HAN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At HAN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |

| Formalities at NNG | 90 min | 6h 56m |
| Delivery run in Nanning | 45 min | 7h 41m |
| Door to door | 461 min | 7h 41m |
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 HAN to NNG is 7h 41m.

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. 22 of them join HAN to NNG.
| Connecting at | HAN to hub, flights a day | Hub to NNG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vientiane VTE | 2.29 | 0.71 | 1,273 | 3h 53m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 8.29 | 2.29 | 1,340 | 4h 04m |
| Shenzhen SZX | 6.57 | 1 | 1,419 | 4h 10m |
| Hong Kong HKG | 5.71 | 0.57 | 1,437 | 4h 12m |
| Chongqing CKG | 1.14 | 1.39 | 1,754 | 4h 30m |
| Changsha CSX | 0.86 | 1.57 | 1,878 | 4h 39m |
22 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Vientiane VTE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through VTE the routing covers 1,273 km against the 289 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 53m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 2h 57m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Guangzhou CAN at 4h 04m and Shenzhen SZX at 4h 10m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 289 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 4h 31m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.

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 HAN to NNG 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.
