BR189 route overview: TPE to NRT

BR189 distance and great-circle path

BR189 covers 2,182 km, or 1,356 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 198 by distance.

The plane leaves Taipei 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 TPE–NRT route appears on a tracker map.

Why BR189 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 3.2 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 671 km/h. A Boeing 787-9 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.
