TLL Tallinn

How deep the TLL board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from TLL. This reads the same 49 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.

• 34of the 49 destinations are flown by one airline
• 33destinations run less than once a day
• 4destinations have four or more departures a day
• 49%of the destinations name airBaltic, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at TLL

31 airlines appear on the TLL board and they do not hold it evenly. airBaltic is on 24 of the 49 destinations, 49 per cent of them, and on 14 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 25 of the 66.3 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 Ryanair on 6 destinations. 22 of the 31 airlines at TLL 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 24 of the 49 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a TLL sector is usually another airBaltic 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 TLL than the destination count does.

How much of the TLL board is daily

Of the 49 destinations, 16 are flown at least once a day and 33 are not, 5 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the TLL board is flown 4.1 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: TLL to Palma De Mallorca (PMI) 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 33.3 of the 66.3 departures a day, 50.3 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves TLL 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 TLL 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 TLL

The desk holds the return direction for 42 of the 49 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into TLL runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Billund (BLL) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back, Istanbul (IST) at 1.6 out a day against 1 back and Milan (MXP) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 0.86 a day back into TLL against 0.43 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at TLL

TLL keeps Europe/Tallinn time, an hour behind Dubai in summer and two 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 08:00 at TLL, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at TLL and still make a departure the same day.

The night at TLL

12 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 Stockholm (ARN) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from TLL that lands inside it leaves around 21:55, on a modelled block of 1h 05m. Into Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from TLL that lands inside it leaves around 21:37, on a modelled block of 2h 23m. Into Amsterdam (AMS) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from TLL that lands inside it leaves around 21:37, on a modelled block of 2h 23m. Those three departure times out of TLL 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 TLL turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 2 airport pair pages that start or end at TLL, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Tallinn to Helsinki (HEL) and Tallinn to Stockholm (ARN).

Seven courier postings name TLL as the airport a courier here flies from: Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with TLL already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 49 destinations above.
