HRG Hurghada

How deep the HRG board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from HRG. This reads the same 87 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.

• 48of the 87 destinations are flown by one airline
• 60destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 32.2%of the destinations name Nesma Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at HRG

33 airlines appear on the HRG board and they do not hold it evenly. Nesma Airlines is on 28 of the 87 destinations, 32.2 per cent of them, and on 11 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 33.9 of the 83.3 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 Air Cairo on 23 destinations. 12 of the 33 airlines at HRG 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 HRG: one airline on 32.2 per cent of the destinations and the other 67.8 per cent spread across 32 airlines. A cancellation inside the Nesma Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 59 destinations Nesma Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the HRG board is daily

Of the 87 destinations, 27 are flown at least once a day and 60 are not, 21 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the HRG board is flown 4 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: HRG to Wrocław (WRO) 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 20.6 of the 83.3 departures a day, 24.7 per cent of the whole board. With 69 per cent of the 87 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 HRG 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. 34 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from HRG

The desk holds the return direction for 64 of the 87 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into HRG runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Bâle/Mulhouse (BSL) at 1 out a day against 0.45 back, Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back and Stuttgart (STR) at 2 out a day against 1.5 back.

It runs the other way as well: Prague (PRG) files 5.4 a day back into HRG against 2.4 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at HRG

HRG keeps Africa/Cairo time, an hour behind Dubai in summer and two 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 08:00 at HRG, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at HRG and still make a departure the same day.

The night at HRG

14 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 Düsseldorf (DUS) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from HRG that lands inside it leaves around 18:16, on a modelled block of 4h 44m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from HRG that lands inside it leaves around 18:51, on a modelled block of 4h 09m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from HRG that lands inside it leaves around 19:30, on a modelled block of 4h 30m. Those three departure times out of HRG 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 HRG turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 9 airport pair pages that start or end at HRG, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Hurghada to Cairo (CAI), Hurghada to Cologne (CGN) and Hurghada to Hanover (HAJ).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with HRG already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 87 destinations above.
