SKG Thessaloniki

How deep the SKG board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from SKG. This reads the same 101 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.

• 57of the 101 destinations are flown by one airline
• 64destinations run less than once a day
• 4destinations have four or more departures a day
• 39.6%of the destinations name Aegean Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at SKG

54 airlines appear on the SKG board and they do not hold it evenly. Aegean Airlines is on 40 of the 101 destinations, 39.6 per cent of them, and on 18 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 75.3 of the 116.3 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 33 destinations. 36 of the 54 airlines at SKG 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 SKG: one airline on 39.6 per cent of the destinations and the other 60.4 per cent spread across 53 airlines. A cancellation inside the Aegean Airlines network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 61 destinations Aegean Airlines does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the SKG board is daily

Of the 101 destinations, 37 are flown at least once a day and 64 are not, 15 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the SKG 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: SKG to Wrocław (WRO) 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 32.7 of the 116.3 departures a day, 28.2 per cent of the whole board. With 63.4 per cent of the 101 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 SKG 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. 36 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from SKG

The desk holds the return direction for 68 of the 101 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On four of them the return into SKG runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Leeds (LBA) at 0.43 out a day against 0.14 back, Geneva (GVA) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and London (LCY) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 4.1 a day back into SKG against 3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at SKG

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

The night at SKG

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 Munich (MUC) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from SKG that lands inside it leaves around 20:55, on a modelled block of 2h 05m. Into Stuttgart (STR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from SKG that lands inside it leaves around 22:12, on a modelled block of 2h 18m. Into Düsseldorf (DUS) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from SKG that lands inside it leaves around 20:18, on a modelled block of 2h 42m. Those three departure times out of SKG 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 SKG turns up on the rest of this site

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

The site publishes 9 airport pair pages that start or end at SKG, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Thessaloniki to Tel Aviv Yafo (TLV), Thessaloniki to Stuttgart (STR) and Thessaloniki to Cologne (CGN).

Nine courier postings name SKG as the airport a courier here flies from: Thessaloniki, Lárisa and Serres.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with SKG already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 101 destinations above.
