What BSL to AYT looks like
The BSL to AYT sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Basel BSL to Antalya AYT is a medium haul sector of 2,241 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4.3 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,241 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 22m.
Basel BSL is a large airport in the network held here, 122 scheduled destinations and 125.1 departures a day. Antalya AYT has 182 destinations and 518.9 departures a day.
Antalya carries about 4.1 times the departures of Basel, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Antalya runs 2 hours ahead of Basel in January and one hour ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
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 BSL to AYT from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSL to AYT | 4.29 | 30 | easyJet, Pegasus, Sun Express |
| AYT to BSL | 3.87 | 27.1 | easyJet, Pegasus, Sun Express |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 4.3 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 57.1 departures a week on BSL to AYT, 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 3h 22m block time on BSL to AYT. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to BSL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At BSL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| BSL to AYT in the air, estimated | 202 min | 7h 52m |
| Formalities at AYT | 90 min | 9h 22m |
| Delivery run in Antalya | 45 min | 10h 07m |
| Door to door | 607 min | 10h 07m |
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 BSL to AYT is 10h 07m.
A courier who leaves Basel at 09:00 local is on the ground in Antalya at about 14:22 local and at the door by 16:37 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Antalya, the last useful departure from Basel is around 10:23 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. 43 of them join BSL to AYT.
| Connecting at | BSL to hub, flights a day | Hub to AYT, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pristina PRN | 10.86 | 1.71 | 2,241 | 4h 52m |
| Skopje SKP | 1.43 | 2.57 | 2,241 | 4h 52m |
| Sofia SOF | 1 | 1.86 | 2,258 | 4h 53m |
| Izmir ADB | 1.14 | 3.14 | 2,251 | 4h 56m |
| Tirana TIA | 1 | 2 | 2,262 | 5h 09m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.57 | 2.29 | 2,274 | 5h 09m |
With 4.3 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.
43 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Pristina PRN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through PRN the routing covers 2,241 km against the 2,241 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 52m 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 30m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Skopje SKP at 4h 52m and Sofia SOF at 4h 53m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Basel, Zurich ZRH is 78 km away by great circle and carries 223 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
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.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Basel BSL is shut to scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local, so a collection in Basel that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Antalya.
Basel BSL, night restrictions: Scheduled movements are restricted between 23:00 and 06:00 local under the airport's noise rules.

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 BSL to AYT 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.
