CZ600 distance and great-circle path
CZ600 covers 2,945 km, or 1,830 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 255 routes we track, it ranks 188 by distance.
The plane leaves Guangzhou heading north-east. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the CAN–NRT route appears on a tracker map.
Why CZ600 block time differs from cruise time
The schedule allows 4.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 693 km/h. An Airbus A330-300 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.
Flying east, this route usually picks up tailwinds high up. The flight back west normally takes longer, even though the distance is identical. See what really moves flight times.
Can the Airbus A330-300 comfortably fly CZ600?
Not at all. At roughly 25% 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.
