BLR Bangalore

How deep the BLR board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from BLR. This reads the same 96 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 44of the 96 destinations are flown by one airline
• 27destinations run less than once a day
• 29destinations have four or more departures a day
• 71.9%of the destinations name IndiGo, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at BLR

48 airlines appear on the BLR board and they do not hold it evenly. IndiGo is on 69 of the 96 destinations, 71.9 per cent of them, and on 26 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 358.8 of the 391.8 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Air India Express on 40 destinations. 35 of the 48 airlines at BLR appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 69 of the 96 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a BLR sector is usually another IndiGo aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at BLR than the destination count does.

How much of the BLR board is daily

Of the 96 destinations, 69 are flown at least once a day and 27 are not, 1 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the BLR board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: BLR to Zhengzhou (CGO) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 146.3 of the 391.8 departures a day, 37.3 per cent of the whole board. The other 91 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at BLR usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of BLR where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 16 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from BLR

The desk holds the return direction for 59 of the 96 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into BLR runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Amsterdam (AMS) at 1 out a day against 0.57 back, Hong Kong (HKG) at 1.9 out a day against 1.1 back and Mumbai (BOM) at 40 out a day against 29.4 back.

A return leg thinner than the outbound is the ordinary reason a same day round trip out of BLR turns into an overnight, and it is worth checking on each of those 3 sectors before the courier is committed rather than after.

The clock at BLR

BLR keeps Asia/Kolkata time, one and a half hours ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 10:30 at BLR, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven and a half hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at BLR and still make a departure the same day.

The night at BLR

6 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from BLR that lands inside it leaves around 17:48, on a modelled block of 10h 12m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from BLR that lands inside it leaves around 17:05, on a modelled block of 9h 25m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from BLR that lands inside it leaves around 17:34, on a modelled block of 9h 56m. Those three departure times out of BLR are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where BLR turns up on the rest of this site

BLR carries two other pages on this site as well: the India country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the BLR transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 34 airport pair pages that start or end at BLR, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Bangalore to New Delhi (DEL), Bangalore to Mumbai (BOM) and Bangalore to Pune (PNQ).

Four of the 346 published hand carry lanes run through this airport: Abu Dhabi to Bangalore, Amsterdam to Bangalore and Dubai to Bangalore. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at BLR written out.

One courier posting names BLR as the airport a courier here flies from: Bengaluru.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with BLR already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 96 destinations above.
