MRS Marseille

How deep the MRS board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from MRS. This reads the same 117 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.

• 83of the 117 destinations are flown by one airline
• 64destinations run less than once a day
• 7destinations have four or more departures a day
• 47.9%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at MRS

45 airlines appear on the MRS board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 56 of the 117 destinations, 47.9 per cent of them, and on 42 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 57.4 of the 158 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 Volotea on 20 destinations. 27 of the 45 airlines at MRS 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 56 of the 117 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an MRS sector is usually another Ryanair 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 MRS than the destination count does.

How much of the MRS board is daily

Of the 117 destinations, 53 are flown at least once a day and 64 are not, 6 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the MRS board is flown 6 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: MRS to Zadar (ZAD) 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 32.9 of the 158 departures a day, 20.8 per cent of the whole board. With 54.7 per cent of the 117 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 MRS 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. 49 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from MRS

The desk holds the return direction for 82 of the 117 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into MRS runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Yerevan (EVN) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Bologna (BLQ) at 1.1 out a day against 0.71 back and Istanbul (IST) at 2.3 out a day against 1.6 back.

It runs the other way as well: Brussels (BRU) files 2.6 a day back into MRS against 1.9 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at MRS

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

The night at MRS

13 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 MRS that lands inside it leaves around 22:32, on a modelled block of 1h 28m. Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from MRS that lands inside it leaves around 22:44, on a modelled block of 1h 46m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from MRS that lands inside it leaves around 20:24, on a modelled block of 1h 36m. Those three departure times out of MRS 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 MRS turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 48 airport pair pages that start or end at MRS, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Marseille to Algiers (ALG), Marseille to Tunis (TUN) and Marseille to Nantes (NTE).

15 courier postings name MRS as the airport a courier here flies from: Marseille, Montpellier and Toulon.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with MRS already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 117 destinations above.
