What TPE to FUK looks like
The TPE to FUK sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Taipei TPE to Fukuoka FUK is a medium haul sector of 1,300 km by great circle, flown nonstop 9.6 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,300 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 10m.
Taipei TPE is a large airport in the network held here, 108 scheduled destinations and 382.9 departures a day. Fukuoka FUK has 47 destinations and 294.4 departures a day.
Fukuoka is one hour ahead of Taipei 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 TPE to FUK from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPE to FUK | 9.57 | 67 | AirAsia, China Airlines, EVA Air, Starlux Airlines, Tigerair Taiwan |
| FUK to TPE | 9.57 | 67 | AirAsia, China Airlines, EVA Air, Starlux Airlines, Tigerair Taiwan |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 9.6 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 134 departures a week on TPE to FUK, 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 10m block time on TPE to FUK. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TPE | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TPE before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TPE to FUK in the air, estimated | 130 min | 6h 40m |
| Formalities at FUK | 90 min | 8h 10m |
| Delivery run in Fukuoka | 45 min | 8h 55m |
| Door to door | 535 min | 8h 55m |
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 TPE to FUK is 8h 55m.
A courier who leaves Taipei at 09:00 local is on the ground in Fukuoka at about 12:10 local and at the door by 14:25 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Fukuoka, the last useful departure from Taipei is around 12:35 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. 20 of them join TPE to FUK.
| Connecting at | TPE to hub, flights a day | Hub to FUK, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jeju CJU | 4.57 | 1.14 | 1,434 | 3h 54m |
| Busan PUS | 18.14 | 13.43 | 1,569 | 4h 03m |
| Okinawa OKA | 16 | 25.43 | 1,520 | 4h 04m |
| Shanghai PVG | 11.29 | 4 | 1,533 | 4h 36m |
| Osaka KIX | 20.43 | 4.57 | 2,155 | 4h 50m |
| Seoul ICN | 14.14 | 29.29 | 2,027 | 4h 57m |
With 9.6 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.
20 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Jeju CJU, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through CJU the routing covers 1,434 km against the 1,300 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 54m 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 44m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Busan PUS at 4h 03m and Okinawa OKA at 4h 04m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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.
If nothing suitable leaves Fukuoka, Busan PUS is 225 km away by great circle and carries 48 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 TPE to FUK 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.
