What CDG to TPE looks like
The CDG to TPE sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Paris CDG to Taipei TPE is an ultra long sector of 9,786 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 9,786 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 12h 17m.
Paris CDG is a major hub in the network held here, 277 scheduled destinations and 771.4 departures a day. Taipei TPE has 108 destinations and 382.9 departures a day.
Taipei runs 7 hours ahead of Paris in January and 6 hours ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits between Asia Pacific and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 46 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on CDG to TPE from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDG to TPE | 1.14 | 8 | EVA Air |
| TPE to CDG | 1.14 | 8 | EVA Air |
One carrier holds the sector, EVA Air, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 16 departures a week on CDG to TPE, 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 12h 17m block time on CDG to TPE. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CDG | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CDG before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CDG to TPE in the air, estimated | 737 min | 16h 47m |
| Formalities at TPE | 90 min | 18h 17m |
| Delivery run in Taipei | 45 min | 19h 02m |
| Door to door | 1,142 min | 19h 02m |
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 CDG to TPE is 19h 02m.
A courier who leaves Paris at 09:00 local is on the ground in Taipei at about 04:17 local and at the door by 06:32 the following day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Taipei, nothing leaving Paris inside a normal working day arrives in time, so this pair is an overnight and a next morning delivery rather than a same day one.
At 19h 02m the mission is past the sixteen hour duty day a single courier is planned against, so it is quoted with a rest at the far end or with a second courier, and never as a turnaround.
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. 41 of them join CDG to TPE.
| Connecting at | CDG to hub, flights a day | Hub to TPE, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prague PRG | 5.86 | 1 | 9,864 | 14h 11m |
| Vienna VIE | 10 | 1.43 | 10,003 | 14h 22m |
| Frankfurt FRA | 14.57 | 1.43 | 9,814 | 14h 26m |
| Amsterdam AMS | 12.43 | 1.14 | 9,840 | 14h 27m |
| Beijing PEK | 3.29 | 4.86 | 9,912 | 14h 34m |
| Shanghai PVG | 3.57 | 11.29 | 9,943 | 14h 40m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at CDG in the afternoon actually flies on.
41 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Prague PRG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through PRG the routing covers 9,864 km against the 9,786 km nonstop track and takes about 14h 11m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 54m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Vienna VIE at 14h 22m and Frankfurt FRA at 14h 26m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Paris, Paris ORY is 35 km away by great circle and carries 157 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Taipei, Fuzhou FOC is 184 km away by great circle and carries 80 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Paris CDG is shut to scheduled movements between 00:00 and 05:00 local, so a collection in Paris that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Taipei.
Paris CDG, night restrictions: Scheduled movements between midnight and 05:00 local are limited to a fixed annual number of slots.
Taipei TPE, night operations: Operates around the clock.

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 CDG to TPE 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.
