What BLQ to TLV looks like
The BLQ to TLV sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Bologna BLQ to Tel Aviv TLV is a medium haul sector of 2,472 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,472 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 39m.
Bologna BLQ is a large airport in the network held here, 114 scheduled destinations and 142 departures a day. Tel Aviv TLV has 110 destinations and 275.3 departures a day.
Tel Aviv is one hour ahead of Bologna all year.
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 BLQ to TLV from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLQ to TLV | 0.14 | 1 | Tus Airways |
| TLV to BLQ | 0.14 | 1 | Tus Airways |
One carrier holds the sector, Tus Airways, 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 BLQ to TLV, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

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. 49 of them join BLQ to TLV.
| Connecting at | BLQ to hub, flights a day | Hub to TLV, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athens ATH | 2 | 16.64 | 2,479 | 5h 24m |
| Thessaloniki SKG | 0.57 | 4.44 | 2,480 | 5h 25m |
| Corfu CFU | 0.86 | 3.6 | 2,487 | 5h 26m |
| Heraklion HER | 1 | 9.43 | 2,532 | 5h 29m |
| Catania CTA | 5.14 | 1 | 2,753 | 5h 31m |
| Tirana TIA | 4.43 | 1.21 | 2,473 | 5h 34m |
49 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Athens ATH, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through ATH the routing covers 2,479 km against the 2,472 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 24m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 45m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Thessaloniki SKG at 5h 25m and Corfu CFU at 5h 26m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bologna, Florence FLR is 81 km away by great circle and carries 35 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Tel Aviv, Amman AMM is 109 km away by great circle and carries 72 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 BLQ to TLV 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.
