CA889 route overview: PEK to SIN

CA889 distance and great-circle path

CA889 covers 4,490 km, or 2,790 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 331 routes we track, it ranks 205 by distance.

Beijing to Singapore is 4,490 km (2,790 miles) on an initial heading of 200°, which is broadly south. Beijing and Singapore keep the same clock, so the arrival time on the ticket is the flight time plus the departure time, with nothing to convert. It links China with Singapore.

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

Can the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner comfortably fly CA889?

Not at all. At roughly 32% of its range, this is an easy trip for a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

What to know about CA889

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

What we know about CA889

What flying PEK to SIN takes

It is a long-haul sector, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Air China needs a widebody twinjet: the sector needs long-range tanks and a cabin crew rest provision, which rules out most single-aisle types.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign CCA889 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 21 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-10. 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.

CA889 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of CA889 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-10. Those records contain 7 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was PEK-SIN (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 335 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does CA889 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 787-9, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown	4,490 km
Aircraft	Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate	5.78 kg per km
Fuel burned	25,930 kg
CO2, whole flight	81.9 tonnes
Seats, typical layout	290
Passengers carried	241 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger	340 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 340 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy238 seats, 198 flown

246 kg CO2 per seat

4 trees absorbing for a year

Business44 seats, 37 flown

713 kg CO2 per seat

12 trees absorbing for a year

First9 seats, 7 flown

983 kg CO2 per seat

16 trees absorbing for a year

Taken whole, CA889 emits what 1,366 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 2,000 km, or 9,714 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 6,204 km, 9,208 km and 12,116 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. 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 CA889 against another flight.
