How the Guangzhou to Port Moresby route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop CAN to POM flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

CAN to POM questions
Is CAN–POM running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at CAN is the weaker end, route health score 88/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from CAN to POM?
Great-circle distance is 5,190 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 396–475 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CAN–POM fly?
China Southern Airline runs the route with about 3 flights a week (tue, thu, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at CAN and arrival-side delay at POM, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
