The aircraft appears below whenever it is airborne and inside receiver coverage. Its planned route is drawn between the two airports.

CA109 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near departure time. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

CA109 route overview: PEK to HKG

CA109 distance and great-circle path

CA109 covers 1,992 km, or 1,238 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 343 routes we track, it ranks 258 by distance.

Both ends of this route are in China. It is 1,992 km of domestic flying south, from Beijing to Hong Kong. Beijing and Hong Kong keep the same clock, so the arrival time on the ticket is the flight time plus the departure time, with nothing to convert.

Our guide explains how the PEK-HKG route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A321 comfortably fly CA109?

Not at all. At roughly 33% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A321. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A321.

What to know about CA109

Time change: none. Both cities keep the same clock, so arrival time reads exactly as you expect.

What we know about CA109

What flying PEK to HKG takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Air China needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign CCA109 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 23 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-12. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

CA109 against the rest of the PEK-HKG pairing

We track 2 scheduled services between Beijing and Hong Kong, all of them Air China. Among them, it is the only one flown with an Airbus A321.

Measured against CA109:

CA125 (Air China) runs the same pairing, on an Airbus A330-300.

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

CA109 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 7 observations of CA109 across 7 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-12. Those records contain 7 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was PEK-HKG (7 records).

The median recorded visibility was 189 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does CA109 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A321-200, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown	1,992 km
Aircraft	Airbus A321
Fuel burn rate	3.61 kg per km
Fuel burned	7,191 kg
CO2, whole flight	22.7 tonnes
Seats, typical layout	185
Passengers carried	154 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger	148 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 148 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy163 seats, 135 flown

121 kg CO2 per seat

2 trees absorbing for a year

Business22 seats, 18 flown

352 kg CO2 per seat

6 trees absorbing for a year

Taken whole, CA109 emits what 379 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 868 km, or 4,216 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 0 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 1,992 km unadjusted. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put CA109 against another flight.
