ARN Stockholm

How deep the ARN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from ARN. This reads the same 160 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.

• 93of the 160 destinations are flown by one airline
• 83destinations run less than once a day
• 23destinations have four or more departures a day
• 40%of the destinations name SAS, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at ARN

68 airlines appear on the ARN board and they do not hold it evenly. SAS is on 64 of the 160 destinations, 40 per cent of them, and on 22 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 230.4 of the 329.4 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 Norwegian Air Shuttle on 50 destinations. 47 of the 68 airlines at ARN 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.

That is a middling concentration at ARN: one airline on 40 per cent of the destinations and the other 60 per cent spread across 67 airlines. A cancellation inside the SAS network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 96 destinations SAS does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the ARN board is daily

Of the 160 destinations, 77 are flown at least once a day and 83 are not, 21 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the ARN board is flown 5 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: ARN 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 83.4 of the 329.4 departures a day, 25.3 per cent of the whole board. With 51.9 per cent of the 160 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 ARN 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. 54 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from ARN

The desk holds the return direction for 104 of the 160 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into ARN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Stockholm (BMA) at 0.57 out a day against 0.29 back, Istanbul (IST) at 2.7 out a day against 1.4 back and Bologna (BLQ) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: Milan (MXP) files 1.6 a day back into ARN against 0.71 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at ARN

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

The night at ARN

ARN carries a documented restriction, checked 2026-09-07. Night movements are restricted between 22:00 and 06:00 local with exemptions. That is a hole of eight hours in the middle of the night. A movement that misses the last slot before 22:00 does not go until 06:00, and the courier spends the night here rather than at the other end.

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 Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from ARN that lands inside it leaves around 21:02, on a modelled block of 1h 58m. Into London (LHR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from ARN that lands inside it leaves around 22:08, on a modelled block of 2h 22m. Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from ARN that lands inside it leaves around 21:32, on a modelled block of 2h 28m. Those three departure times out of ARN 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 ARN turns up on the rest of this site

ARN carries two other pages on this site as well: the Sweden country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the ARN transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 54 airport pair pages that start or end at ARN, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Stockholm to Copenhagen (CPH), Stockholm to Helsinki (HEL) and Stockholm to Oslo (OSL).

One of the 346 published hand carry lanes runs through this airport: Dubai to Stockholm. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at ARN written out.

Nine courier postings name ARN as the airport a courier here flies from: Stockholm, Uppsala and Vasteras.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with ARN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 160 destinations above.
