What HAN to KIX looks like
The HAN to KIX sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Hanoi HAN to Osaka KIX is a medium haul sector of 3,229 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,229 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 23m.
Hanoi HAN is a large airport in the network held here, 87 scheduled destinations and 368.8 departures a day. Osaka KIX has 70 destinations and 267.1 departures a day.
Osaka is 2 hours 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

Between them the two directions put about 37.9 departures a week on HAN to KIX, 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 4h 23m block time on HAN to KIX. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

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. 31 of them join HAN to KIX.
| Connecting at | HAN to hub, flights a day | Hub to KIX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fukuoka FUK | 1.71 | 4.57 | 3,235 | 6h 13m |
| Macau MFM | 1.14 | 0.71 | 3,324 | 6h 15m |
| Busan PUS | 2.29 | 13.29 | 3,318 | 6h 21m |
| Hangzhou HGH | 1.14 | 1.43 | 3,238 | 6h 23m |
| Kaohsiung KHH | 2.71 | 6.71 | 3,466 | 6h 25m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 8.29 | 1.43 | 3,263 | 6h 25m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at HAN in the afternoon actually flies on.
31 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Fukuoka FUK, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through FUK the routing covers 3,235 km against the 3,229 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 13m 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 50m 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 6h 15m and Busan PUS at 6h 21m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Osaka, Osaka ITM is 44 km away by great circle and carries 26 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 HAN to KIX 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.
