What BIO to CMN looks like
The BIO to CMN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bilbao BIO to Casablanca CMN is a short sector of 1,177 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,177 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 00m.
Bilbao BIO is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 69 scheduled destinations and 93.3 departures a day. Casablanca CMN has 104 destinations and 130.1 departures a day.
Casablanca runs one hour behind of Bilbao in January and 2 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits between Africa and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 8 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

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 BIO to CMN.
| Connecting at | BIO to hub, flights a day | Hub to CMN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seville SVQ | 3.14 | 0.71 | 1,177 | 3h 44m |
| Malaga AGP | 3.86 | 3.29 | 1,212 | 4h 02m |
| Madrid MAD | 9.14 | 5.14 | 1,186 | 4h 05m |
| Valencia VLC | 1 | 0.86 | 1,401 | 4h 08m |
| Porto OPO | 0.86 | 0.71 | 1,409 | 4h 10m |
| Alicante ALC | 2.57 | 0.57 | 1,429 | 4h 11m |
31 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Seville SVQ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through SVQ the routing covers 1,177 km against the 1,177 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 44m 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 44m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Malaga AGP at 4h 02m and Madrid MAD at 4h 05m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bilbao, Bordeaux BOD is 244 km away by great circle and carries 84 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Casablanca, Rabat RBA is 109 km away by great circle and carries 43 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 BIO to CMN 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.
