What KHH to SZX looks like
The KHH to SZX sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Kaohsiung KHH to Shenzhen SZX is a short sector of 671 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 671 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 29m.
Kaohsiung KHH is a smaller airport in the network held here, 37 scheduled destinations and 99.9 departures a day. Shenzhen SZX has 157 destinations and 574.7 departures a day.
Shenzhen carries about 5.8 times the departures of Kaohsiung, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Kaohsiung and Shenzhen 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.

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. 16 of them join KHH to SZX.
| Connecting at | KHH to hub, flights a day | Hub to SZX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manila MNL | 1.86 | 1.29 | 2,080 | 4h 39m |
| Nanjing NKG | 0.57 | 19.14 | 2,158 | 4h 45m |
| Wuhan WUH | 1 | 7.29 | 2,004 | 4h 49m |
| Hanoi HAN | 2.71 | 6.57 | 2,347 | 4h 59m |
| Shanghai PVG | 2.29 | 17.71 | 2,196 | 5h 18m |
| Jeju CJU | 1.43 | 1.14 | 3,088 | 5h 57m |
16 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Manila MNL, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through MNL the routing covers 2,080 km against the 671 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 39m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 3h 10m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Nanjing NKG at 4h 45m and Wuhan WUH at 4h 49m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Shenzhen, Hong Kong HKG is 38 km away by great circle and carries 144 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 KHH to SZX 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.
