CX336 route overview: HKG to PEK

CX336 distance and great-circle path

CX336 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 north, from Hong Kong to Beijing. Hong Kong and Beijing 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 HKG-PEK route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A330-300 comfortably fly CX336?

Not at all. At roughly 17% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A330-300. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A330-300.

What to know about CX336

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

What we know about CX336

What flying HKG to PEK takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Cathay Pacific 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 CPA336 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 21 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-11. 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.

CX336 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 6 observations of CX336 across 6 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-11. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was HKG-PEK (6 records).

The median recorded visibility was 168 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does CX336 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A330-300, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,992 km
AircraftAirbus A330-300
Fuel burn rate6.25 kg per km
Fuel burned12,442 kg
CO2, whole flight39.3 tonnes
Seats, typical layout277
Passengers carried230 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger171 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 171 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy227 seats, 188 flown
124 kg CO2 per seat
Business42 seats, 35 flown
359 kg CO2 per seat
First8 seats, 7 flown
495 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, CX336 emits what 655 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 1,006 km, or 4,884 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 5,556 km and 10,275 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 CX336 against another flight.
