What DPS to AUH looks like
The DPS to AUH sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bali DPS to Abu Dhabi AUH is an ultra long sector of 7,524 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 7,524 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 9h 34m.
Bali DPS is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 61 scheduled destinations and 211.1 departures a day. Abu Dhabi AUH has 122 destinations and 249.1 departures a day.
Abu Dhabi is 4 hours behind of Bali all year.
The pair sits between Asia Pacific and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 76 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on DPS to AUH from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPS to AUH | 2.29 | 16 | Etihad Airways |
| AUH to DPS | 1.29 | 9 | Etihad Airways |
One carrier holds the sector, Etihad Airways, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The two directions are not level: DPS to AUH runs about twice a day, the return runs about once a day, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 25.1 departures a week on DPS to AUH, 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 9h 34m block time on DPS to AUH. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to DPS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At DPS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| DPS to AUH in the air, estimated | 574 min | 14h 04m |
| Formalities at AUH | 90 min | 15h 34m |
| Delivery run in Abu Dhabi | 45 min | 16h 19m |
| Door to door | 979 min | 16h 19m |
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 DPS to AUH is 16h 19m.
A courier who leaves Bali at 09:00 local is on the ground in Abu Dhabi at about 14:34 local and at the door by 16:49 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Abu Dhabi, the last useful departure from Bali is around 10:11 local.
At 16h 19m the mission is past the sixteen hour duty day a single courier is planned against, so it is quoted with a rest at the far end or with a second courier, and never as a turnaround.
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. 19 of them join DPS to AUH.
| Connecting at | DPS to hub, flights a day | Hub to AUH, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jakarta CGK | 29.86 | 2.29 | 7,558 | 11h 10m |
| Bangalore BLR | 1.14 | 6.43 | 7,526 | 11h 16m |
| Phuket HKT | 1.14 | 4.57 | 7,620 | 11h 22m |
| Singapore SIN | 18.14 | 1.14 | 7,557 | 11h 28m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 14.43 | 2.29 | 7,552 | 11h 29m |
| Bangkok BKK | 2.29 | 4.57 | 7,925 | 12h 01m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at DPS in the afternoon actually flies on.
19 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Jakarta CGK, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through CGK the routing covers 7,558 km against the 7,524 km nonstop track and takes about 11h 10m 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 36m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bangalore BLR at 11h 16m and Phuket HKT at 11h 22m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Abu Dhabi, Dubai DXB is 116 km away by great circle and carries 221 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 DPS to AUH 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.
