MUB Maun

How deep the MUB board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from MUB. This reads the same 8 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 and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 7of the 8 destinations are flown by one airline
• 5destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 50%of the destinations name South African Airlink, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at MUB

Five airlines appear on the MUB board and they do not hold it evenly. South African Airlink is on 4 of the 8 destinations, 50 per cent of them, and on 3 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 6 of the 8.6 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 Botswana on 2 destinations. 3 of the 5 airlines at MUB 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 4 of the 8 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an MUB sector is usually another South African Airlink aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. No alternate airport within road reach is held for MUB, so that second look is a longer road leg or a different day.

How much of the MUB board is daily

Of the 8 destinations, 3 are flown at least once a day and 5 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the MUB board is flown 5 times a week.

An average of 0.43 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: MUB to Ndola (NLA) is 3 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 7 of the 8.6 departures a day, 81.7 per cent of the whole board. On that arithmetic MUB is five sectors and a short tail, 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 those five is planned around a single departure time.

The five destinations out of MUB 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.

The clock at MUB

MUB keeps Africa/Gaborone time, two hours behind Dubai all year.

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

Where MUB turns up on the rest of this site

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

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with MUB already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 8 destinations above.
