What GYD to TBS looks like
The GYD to TBS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Baku GYD to Tbilisi TBS is a short sector of 447 km by great circle, flown nonstop 7.7 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 447 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 09m.
Baku GYD is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 64 scheduled destinations and 84.9 departures a day. Tbilisi TBS has 72 destinations and 84 departures a day.
Baku and Tbilisi 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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on GYD to TBS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| GYD to TBS | 7.71 | 54 | AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines, Gulf Air |
| TBS to GYD | 7.29 | 51 | AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines |
Two carriers hold the sector, AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines and Gulf Air, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 7.7 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 105 departures a week on GYD to TBS, 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 1h 09m block time on GYD to TBS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to GYD | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At GYD before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| GYD to TBS in the air, estimated | 69 min | 5h 39m |
| Formalities at TBS | 90 min | 7h 09m |
| Delivery run in Tbilisi | 45 min | 7h 54m |
| Door to door | 474 min | 7h 54m |
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 GYD to TBS is 7h 54m.
A courier who leaves Baku at 09:00 local is on the ground in Tbilisi at about 10:09 local and at the door by 12:24 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Tbilisi, the last useful departure from Baku is around 14:36 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 GYD to TBS.
| Connecting at | GYD to hub, flights a day | Hub to TBS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tel Aviv TLV | 4.46 | 5 | 3,045 | 6h 08m |
| Antalya AYT | 4.57 | 2 | 3,040 | 6h 08m |
| Istanbul SAW | 6 | 5.29 | 3,053 | 6h 09m |
| Istanbul IST | 3.86 | 4.71 | 3,137 | 6h 30m |
| Moscow VKO | 4.57 | 6 | 3,571 | 6h 34m |
| Riyadh RUH | 1 | 1 | 3,617 | 6h 37m |
With 7.7 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 Tel Aviv TLV, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4.5 times a day.
Through TLV the routing covers 3,045 km against the 447 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 08m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 4h 59m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Antalya AYT at 6h 08m and Istanbul SAW at 6h 09m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 447 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 6h 59m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
If nothing suitable leaves Tbilisi, Yerevan EVN is 176 km away by great circle and carries 82 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 GYD to TBS 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.
