What BEY to TBS looks like
The BEY to TBS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Beirut BEY to Tbilisi TBS is a medium haul sector of 1,204 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,204 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 02m.
Beirut BEY is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 45 scheduled destinations and 86.9 departures a day. Tbilisi TBS has 72 destinations and 84 departures a day.
Tbilisi runs 2 hours ahead of Beirut in January and one hour ahead 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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on BEY to TBS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BEY to TBS | 0.14 | 1 | Middle East Airlines |
| TBS to BEY | 0.14 | 1 | Middle East Airlines |
One carrier holds the sector, Middle East Airlines, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
At about once a week the nonstop is thin enough that a consignment which misses it waits days rather than hours, which is the case for reading the routings below before promising anything.
Between them the two directions put about 2 departures a week on BEY 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 2h 02m block time on BEY to TBS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

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. 25 of them join BEY to TBS.
| Connecting at | BEY to hub, flights a day | Hub to TBS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yerevan EVN | 0.71 | 1 | 1,234 | 3h 37m |
| Larnaca LCA | 3.71 | 1.14 | 1,450 | 3h 53m |
| Antalya AYT | 2 | 2 | 1,873 | 4h 45m |
| Istanbul SAW | 5.57 | 5.29 | 2,265 | 5h 08m |
| Kuwait City KWI | 3 | 1.29 | 2,697 | 5h 27m |
| Istanbul IST | 6 | 4.71 | 2,368 | 5h 31m |
25 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Yerevan EVN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through EVN the routing covers 1,234 km against the 1,204 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 37m 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 35m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Larnaca LCA at 3h 53m and Antalya AYT at 4h 45m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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.
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 BEY 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.
