KGS Kos

How deep the KGS board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from KGS. This reads the same 72 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.

• 36of the 72 destinations are flown by one airline
• 47destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 16.7%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at KGS

46 airlines appear on the KGS board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 12 of the 72 destinations, 16.7 per cent of them, and on 7 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 9.4 of the 62.9 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 Jet2 on 11 destinations. 21 of the 46 airlines at KGS 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 16.7 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 36 of the 72 sectors at KGS do not.

How much of the KGS board is daily

Of the 72 destinations, 25 are flown at least once a day and 47 are not, 12 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the KGS board is flown 3 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: KGS to Weeze (NRN) 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 15.3 of the 62.9 departures a day, 24.3 per cent of the whole board. With 65.3 per cent of the 72 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 KGS 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. 23 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from KGS

The desk holds the return direction for 61 of the 72 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 61 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through KGS is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 4.1 a day back into KGS against 3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at KGS

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

The night at KGS

15 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 (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from KGS that lands inside it leaves around 21:35, on a modelled block of 3h 55m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from KGS that lands inside it leaves around 20:22, on a modelled block of 3h 38m. Into Düsseldorf (DUS) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from KGS that lands inside it leaves around 19:36, on a modelled block of 3h 24m. Those three departure times out of KGS 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 KGS turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Greece 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 KGS, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Kos to Birmingham (BHX), Kos to Bristol (BRS) and Kos to Cologne (CGN).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with KGS already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 72 destinations above.
