What AYT to BEY looks like
The AYT to BEY sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Antalya AYT to Beirut BEY is a short sector of 546 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 546 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 18m.
Antalya AYT is a major hub in the network held here, 182 scheduled destinations and 518.9 departures a day. Beirut BEY has 45 destinations and 86.9 departures a day.
Antalya carries about 6 times the departures of Beirut, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Beirut runs one hour behind of Antalya in January and no time shift at all in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits between Europe and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 66 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

Between them the two directions put about 30.1 departures a week on AYT to BEY, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

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. 22 of them join AYT to BEY.
| Connecting at | AYT to hub, flights a day | Hub to BEY, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amman AMM | 2.14 | 6.57 | 985 | 3h 27m |
| Izmir ADB | 3.29 | 0.57 | 1,254 | 3h 40m |
| Istanbul SAW | 25.86 | 5.57 | 1,420 | 4h 09m |
| Istanbul IST | 19 | 7.43 | 1,537 | 4h 34m |
| Bucharest OTP | 6.14 | 1 | 2,381 | 5h 17m |
| Kuwait City KWI | 0.86 | 3 | 3,096 | 5h 58m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at AYT in the afternoon actually flies on.
22 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Amman AMM, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through AMM the routing covers 985 km against the 546 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 27m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 09m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Izmir ADB at 3h 40m and Istanbul SAW at 4h 09m 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.
If nothing suitable leaves Beirut, Larnaca LCA is 207 km away by great circle and carries 86 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 BEY 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.
