FLR Florence

How deep the FLR board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from FLR. This reads the same 35 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.

• 31of the 35 destinations are flown by one airline
• 18destinations run less than once a day
• 7destinations have four or more departures a day
• 25.7%of the destinations name Volotea, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at FLR

23 airlines appear on the FLR board and they do not hold it evenly. Volotea is on 9 of the 35 destinations, 25.7 per cent of them, and on 7 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 6 of the 66.2 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 Vueling on 7 destinations. 18 of the 23 airlines at FLR 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.

That is a middling concentration at FLR: one airline on 25.7 per cent of the destinations and the other 74.3 per cent spread across 22 airlines. A cancellation inside the Volotea network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 26 destinations Volotea does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the FLR board is daily

Of the 35 destinations, 17 are flown at least once a day and 18 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the FLR board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: FLR to Edinburgh (EDI) 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 28.1 of the 66.2 departures a day, 42.5 per cent of the whole board. With 51.4 per cent of the 35 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of FLR 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. 7 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from FLR

The desk holds the return direction for 31 of the 35 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 31 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through FLR is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

The clock at FLR

FLR keeps Europe/Rome time, two hours behind Dubai in summer and three hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 07:00 at FLR, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at FLR and still make a departure the same day.

The night at FLR

12 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 Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from FLR that lands inside it leaves around 22:23, on a modelled block of 1h 37m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from FLR that lands inside it leaves around 21:09, on a modelled block of 1h 51m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from FLR that lands inside it leaves around 21:26, on a modelled block of 1h 34m. Those three departure times out of FLR 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 FLR turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Italy country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 8 airport pair pages that start or end at FLR, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Florence to Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA), Florence to Zurich (ZRH) and Florence to Paris (ORY).

17 courier postings name FLR as the airport a courier here flies from: Bologna, Florence and Modena.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with FLR already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 35 destinations above.
