What AYT to GYD looks like
The AYT to GYD sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Antalya AYT to Baku GYD is a medium haul sector of 1,713 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4.6 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,713 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 41m.
Antalya AYT is a major hub in the network held here, 182 scheduled destinations and 518.9 departures a day. Baku GYD has 64 destinations and 84.9 departures a day.
Antalya carries about 6.1 times the departures of Baku, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Baku is one hour ahead of Antalya all year.
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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on AYT to GYD from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| AYT to GYD | 4.57 | 32 | AJet, AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines, Pegasus |
| GYD to AYT | 4.57 | 32 | AJet, AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines, Pegasus |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 4.6 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 64 departures a week on AYT to GYD, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 41m block time on AYT to GYD. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to AYT | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At AYT before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| AYT to GYD in the air, estimated | 161 min | 7h 11m |
| Formalities at GYD | 90 min | 8h 41m |
| Delivery run in Baku | 45 min | 9h 26m |
| Door to door | 566 min | 9h 26m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for AYT to GYD is 9h 26m.
A courier who leaves Antalya at 09:00 local is on the ground in Baku at about 12:41 local and at the door by 14:56 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Baku, the last useful departure from Antalya is around 12:04 local.
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. 31 of them join AYT to GYD.
| Connecting at | AYT to hub, flights a day | Hub to GYD, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tbilisi TBS | 2 | 7.29 | 1,774 | 4h 21m |
| Ankara ESB | 11.71 | 2.71 | 1,851 | 4h 27m |
| Izmir ADB | 3.29 | 1.86 | 2,332 | 5h 02m |
| Istanbul SAW | 25.86 | 5.71 | 2,208 | 5h 10m |
| Istanbul IST | 19 | 8.14 | 2,306 | 5h 33m |
| Riyadh RUH | 1 | 1 | 3,762 | 6h 48m |
With 4.6 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
31 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Tbilisi TBS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through TBS the routing covers 1,774 km against the 1,713 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 21m 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 40m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Ankara ESB at 4h 27m and Izmir ADB at 5h 02m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Antalya, Rhodes RHO is 248 km away by great circle and carries 117 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 AYT to GYD 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.
