CZ600 route overview: CAN to NRT

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 439 routes we track, it ranks 279 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.

What to know about CZ600

  • Time change: you land 1 hour ahead of the time you left.

CZ600 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 1 observation of CZ600 across 1 UTC date in this window, most recently 2026-10-24. Those records contain 1 distinct transponder address.

The median recorded visibility was 411 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does CZ600 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 flown2,945 km
AircraftAirbus A330-300
Fuel burn rate6.25 kg per km
Fuel burned18,394 kg
CO2, whole flight58.1 tonnes
Seats, typical layout277
Passengers carried230 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger253 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 253 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy227 seats, 188 flown
183 kg CO2 per seat
Business42 seats, 35 flown
531 kg CO2 per seat
First8 seats, 7 flown
732 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, CZ600 emits what 969 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 1,487 km, or 7,221 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 CZ600 against another flight.
