What MNL to NNG looks like
The MNL to NNG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Manila MNL to Nanning NNG is a medium haul sector of 1,625 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,625 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 35m.
Manila MNL is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 80 scheduled destinations and 426.8 departures a day. Nanning NNG has 74 destinations and 136.2 departures a day.
Manila carries about 3.1 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.
Manila and Nanning 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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on MNL to NNG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MNL to NNG | 0.71 | 5 | Royal Air Charter |
| NNG to MNL | 0 | 0 | none held |
One carrier holds the sector, Royal Air Charter, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The return leg NNG to MNL carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
Between them the two directions put about 5 departures a week on MNL 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 2h 35m block time on MNL 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 MNL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At MNL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| MNL to NNG in the air, estimated | 155 min | 7h 05m |
| Formalities at NNG | 90 min | 8h 35m |
| Delivery run in Nanning | 45 min | 9h 20m |

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 MNL to NNG is 9h 20m.

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 MNL to NNG.
| Connecting at | MNL to hub, flights a day | Hub to NNG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hong Kong HKG | 17 | 0.57 | 1,737 | 4h 35m |
| Shenzhen SZX | 1.29 | 1 | 1,759 | 4h 36m |
| Guangzhou CAN | 4.71 | 2.29 | 1,810 | 4h 40m |
| Xiamen XMN | 3.29 | 2.7 | 2,193 | 4h 48m |
| Fuzhou FOC | 0.86 | 4.14 | 2,500 | 5h 12m |
| Chengdu TFU | 0.71 | 7.14 | 3,375 | 6h 33m |
16 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Hong Kong HKG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through HKG the routing covers 1,737 km against the 1,625 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 35m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 00m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Shenzhen SZX at 4h 36m and Guangzhou CAN at 4h 40m 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 MNL 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.
