Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on BTS to HRG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTS to HRG | 1 | 7 | Air Cairo, Azur Air Ukraine, Nile Air, Travel Service Slovensko |
| HRG to BTS | 0.71 | 5 | Air Cairo, Azur Air Ukraine, Nile Air |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
The two directions are not level: BTS to HRG runs about once a day, the return runs 5 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 12 departures a week on BTS to HRG, 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. 19 of them join BTS to HRG.
| Connecting at | BTS to hub, flights a day | Hub to HRG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Istanbul SAW | 0.57 | 3.29 | 2,832 | 5h 52m |
| Prague PRG | 1.43 | 5.43 | 3,346 | 6h 22m |
| Leipzig LEJ | 0.86 | 3.14 | 3,756 | 6h 40m |
| Warsaw WAW | 0.86 | 1.14 | 3,495 | 6h 49m |
| Berlin BER | 0.57 | 1.43 | 3,804 | 6h 58m |
| London LTN | 0.86 | 1.29 | 5,270 | 8h 42m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BTS 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 Istanbul SAW, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through SAW the routing covers 2,832 km against the 2,740 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 52m 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 52m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Prague PRG at 6h 22m and Leipzig LEJ at 6h 40m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bratislava, Vienna VIE is 48 km away by great circle and carries 200 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh SSH is 107 km away by great circle and carries 62 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 BTS to HRG 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.
