What CCU to DAC looks like
The CCU to DAC sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Kolkata CCU to Dhaka DAC is a short sector of 239 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 239 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 51 min.
Kolkata CCU is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 51 scheduled destinations and 142.9 departures a day. Dhaka DAC has 49 destinations and 172.2 departures a day.
Dhaka is 0.5 hours ahead of Kolkata 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

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. 11 of them join CCU to DAC.
| Connecting at | CCU to hub, flights a day | Hub to DAC, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delhi DEL | 20.09 | 2.29 | 2,738 | 5h 45m |
| Kunming KMG | 1 | 1.14 | 2,772 | 5h 48m |
| Chennai MAA | 8 | 1.86 | 3,003 | 5h 50m |
| Bangkok BKK | 3.43 | 5.43 | 3,205 | 6h 20m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 1.14 | 3.71 | 4,872 | 8h 29m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 1.71 | 7.29 | 5,278 | 8h 59m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at CCU in the afternoon actually flies on.
11 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Delhi DEL, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through DEL the routing covers 2,738 km against the 239 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 45m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 4h 54m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Kunming KMG at 5h 48m and Chennai MAA at 5h 50m 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 239 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 3h 44m, 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 CCU to DAC 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.
