SXB Strasbourg

How deep the SXB board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SXB. This reads the same 33 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.

• 27of the 33 destinations are flown by one airline
• 30destinations run less than once a day
• 0destinations have four or more departures a day
• 57.6%of the destinations name Volotea, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SXB

Twelve airlines appear on the SXB board and they do not hold it evenly. Volotea is on 19 of the 33 destinations, 57.6 per cent of them, and on 16 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 9.3 of the 15.7 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 easyJet on 7 destinations. 7 of the 12 airlines at SXB 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 19 of the 33 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an SXB sector is usually another Volotea 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 SXB than the destination count does.

How much of the SXB board is daily

Of the 33 destinations, 3 are flown at least once a day and 30 are not, 11 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SXB board is flown 2 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: SXB to Paris (LBG) 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 6.7 of the 15.7 departures a day, 42.7 per cent of the whole board. With 90.9 per cent of the 33 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 SXB 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. 16 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SXB

The desk holds the return direction for 23 of the 33 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into SXB runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Nápoli (NAP) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

A return leg thinner than the outbound is the ordinary reason a same day round trip out of SXB turns into an overnight, and it is worth checking on each of those 1 sectors before the courier is committed rather than after.

The clock at SXB

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

The night at SXB

2 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 London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from SXB that lands inside it leaves around 23:04, on a modelled block of 1h 26m. Into Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from SXB that lands inside it leaves around 21:03, on a modelled block of 0h 57m. Those two departure times out of SXB 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 SXB 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.

17 courier postings name SXB as the airport a courier here flies from: Basel, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SXB already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 33 destinations above.
