What CGK to UPG looks like
The CGK to UPG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Jakarta CGK to Makassar UPG is a medium haul sector of 1,432 km by great circle, flown nonstop 26.1 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,432 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 20m.
Jakarta CGK is a large airport in the network held here, 89 scheduled destinations and 467.9 departures a day. Makassar UPG has 35 destinations and 105.3 departures a day.
Jakarta carries about 4.4 times the departures of Makassar, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Makassar is one hour ahead of Jakarta 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 CGK to UPG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGK to UPG | 26.14 | 183 | Batik Air, Citilink, Fly Arystan, Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Nam Air |
| UPG to CGK | 21.29 | 149 | Batik Air, Citilink, Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Nam Air, Pelita Air |
7 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 26.1 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 332 departures a week on CGK to UPG, 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 20m block time on CGK to UPG. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CGK | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CGK before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CGK to UPG in the air, estimated | 140 min | 6h 50m |
| Formalities at UPG | 90 min | 8h 20m |
| Delivery run in Makassar | 45 min | 9h 05m |
| Door to door | 545 min | 9h 05m |
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 CGK to UPG is 9h 05m.
A courier who leaves Jakarta at 09:00 local is on the ground in Makassar at about 12:20 local and at the door by 14:35 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Makassar, the last useful departure from Jakarta is around 12:25 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. 7 of them join CGK to UPG.
| Connecting at | CGK to hub, flights a day | Hub to UPG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yogyakarta YIA | 13.43 | 5.29 | 1,519 | 4h 01m |
| Surabaya SUB | 27.57 | 13.43 | 1,482 | 4h 11m |
| Bali DPS | 36.71 | 4 | 1,617 | 4h 11m |
| Lombok LOP | 8.86 | 0.57 | 1,647 | 4h 12m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 26.14 | 1.71 | 3,293 | 6h 28m |
| Jeddah JED | 6 | 0.57 | 17,200 | 22h 58m |
With 26.1 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.
7 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Yogyakarta YIA, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5.3 times a day.
Through YIA the routing covers 1,519 km against the 1,432 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 01m 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, Surabaya SUB at 4h 11m and Bali DPS at 4h 11m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

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 CGK to UPG 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.
