PMO Palermo

How deep the PMO board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from PMO. This reads the same 102 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.

• 78of the 102 destinations are flown by one airline
• 71destinations run less than once a day
• 9destinations have four or more departures a day
• 49%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at PMO

32 airlines appear on the PMO board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 50 of the 102 destinations, 49 per cent of them, and on 35 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 93.7 of the 137.8 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 19 destinations. 19 of the 32 airlines at PMO 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 50 of the 102 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a PMO 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 PMO than the destination count does.

How much of the PMO board is daily

Of the 102 destinations, 31 are flown at least once a day and 71 are not, 10 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the PMO 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: PMO to Strasbourg (SXB) 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 47.9 of the 137.8 departures a day, 34.7 per cent of the whole board. With 69.6 per cent of the 102 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 PMO 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. 51 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from PMO

The desk holds the return direction for 71 of the 102 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into PMO runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is New York (JFK) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) files 1.1 a day back into PMO against 0.73 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at PMO

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

The night at PMO

16 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 PMO that lands inside it leaves around 21:08, on a modelled block of 2h 22m. Into Zurich (ZRH) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from PMO that lands inside it leaves around 21:06, on a modelled block of 1h 54m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from PMO that lands inside it leaves around 20:03, on a modelled block of 1h 57m. Those three departure times out of PMO 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 PMO turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 13 airport pair pages that start or end at PMO, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Palermo to Bologna (BLQ), Palermo to Milan (LIN) and Palermo to Venice (VCE).

Four courier postings name PMO as the airport a courier here flies from: Palermo, Marsala and Trapani.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with PMO already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 102 destinations above.
