ORN Oran

How deep the ORN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from ORN. This reads the same 35 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.

• 18of the 35 destinations are flown by one airline
• 27destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 77.1%of the destinations name Air Algerie, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at ORN

Twelve airlines appear on the ORN board and they do not hold it evenly. Air Algerie is on 27 of the 35 destinations, 77.1 per cent of them, and on 11 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 32.8 of the 35.7 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 Tassili Airlines on 6 destinations. 6 of the 12 airlines at ORN 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 27 of the 35 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an ORN sector is usually another Air Algerie 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 ORN than the destination count does.

How much of the ORN board is daily

Of the 35 destinations, 8 are flown at least once a day and 27 are not, 7 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the ORN 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: ORN to Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) 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 19.4 of the 35.7 departures a day, 54.4 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves ORN 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 ORN 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. 8 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from ORN

The desk holds the return direction for 18 of the 35 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into ORN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Medina (MED) at 0.86 out a day against 0.43 back.

It runs the other way as well: Paris (CDG) files 2.9 a day back into ORN against 0.57 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at ORN

ORN keeps Africa/Algiers time, three hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 06:00 at ORN, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for six hours. A customs question raised in the last three hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at ORN until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at ORN

4 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 (ORY) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from ORN that lands inside it leaves around 20:07, on a modelled block of 2h 23m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from ORN that lands inside it leaves around 20:34, on a modelled block of 2h 26m. Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from ORN that lands inside it leaves around 19:16, on a modelled block of 2h 44m. Those three departure times out of ORN 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 ORN turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 4 airport pair pages that start or end at ORN, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Oran to Paris (ORY), Oran to Marseille (MRS) and Oran to Lyon (LYS).

One courier posting names ORN as the airport a courier here flies from: Oran.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with ORN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 35 destinations above.
