What ALC to BLQ looks like
The ALC to BLQ sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Alicante ALC to Bologna BLQ is a medium haul sector of 1,206 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,206 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 02m.
Alicante ALC is a large airport in the network held here, 145 scheduled destinations and 231.5 departures a day. Bologna BLQ has 114 destinations and 142 departures a day.
Alicante and Bologna keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 52 of them join ALC to BLQ.
| Connecting at | ALC to hub, flights a day | Hub to BLQ, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza IBZ | 4.29 | 1.71 | 1,215 | 3h 35m |
| Palma PMI | 4.57 | 1.29 | 1,215 | 3h 52m |
| Bergamo BGY | 2 | 0.57 | 1,357 | 4h 01m |
| Marseille MRS | 1.57 | 1.14 | 1,251 | 4h 05m |
| Venice VCE | 1 | 0.57 | 1,470 | 4h 09m |
| Barcelona BCN | 4 | 3.43 | 1,235 | 4h 10m |
52 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Ibiza IBZ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through IBZ the routing covers 1,215 km against the 1,206 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 35m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 33m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Palma PMI at 3h 52m and Bergamo BGY at 4h 01m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Alicante, Valencia VLC is 134 km away by great circle and carries 101 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Bologna, Florence FLR is 81 km away by great circle and carries 35 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for ALC to BLQ in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
