FDH Friedrichshafen

How deep the FDH board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from FDH. This reads the same 16 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.

• 11of the 16 destinations are flown by one airline
• 16destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 18.8%of the destinations name Avanti Air, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at FDH

Twelve airlines appear on the FDH board and they do not hold it evenly. Avanti Air is on 3 of the 16 destinations, 18.8 per cent of them, and on 1 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 1.7 of the 6.3 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 LHB on 3 destinations. 5 of the 12 airlines at FDH 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.

No airline holds more than 18.8 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 11 of the 16 sectors at FDH do not.

How much of the FDH board is daily

Of the 16 destinations, 0 are flown at least once a day and 16 are not, 7 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the FDH board is flown 2 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: FDH to Zurich (ZRH) 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 3.8 of the 6.3 departures a day, 61.4 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves FDH is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The ten destinations out of FDH 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. 1 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from FDH

The desk holds the return direction for 10 of the 16 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into FDH runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Belgrade (BEG) at 0.43 out a day against 0.14 back, Hamburg (HAM) at 0.86 out a day against 0.57 back and Palma De Mallorca (PMI) at 0.86 out a day against 0.57 back.

It runs the other way as well: Rodes Island (RHO) files 0.29 a day back into FDH against 0.14 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at FDH

FDH keeps Europe/Berlin 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 FDH, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for seven hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at FDH and still make a departure the same day.

The night at FDH

3 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 Hamburg (HAM) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from FDH that lands inside it leaves around 21:31, on a modelled block of 1h 29m. Into Berlin (BER) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from FDH that lands inside it leaves around 20:38, on a modelled block of 1h 22m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from FDH that lands inside it leaves around 22:23, on a modelled block of 0h 37m. Those three departure times out of FDH 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 FDH turns up on the rest of this site

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

Twelve courier postings name FDH as the airport a courier here flies from: Sankt Gallen, Ulm and Reutlingen.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with FDH already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 16 destinations above.
