What EZE to LOS looks like
The EZE to LOS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Buenos Aires EZE to Lagos LOS is an ultra long sector of 7,937 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 7,937 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 10h 04m.
Buenos Aires EZE is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 58 scheduled destinations and 109.4 departures a day. Lagos LOS has 40 destinations and 104.5 departures a day.
Lagos is 4 hours ahead of Buenos Aires all year.
The pair sits between Africa and the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 2 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on EZE to LOS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| EZE to LOS | 0.14 | 1 | Emirates |
| LOS to EZE | 0 | 0 | none held |
One carrier holds the sector, Emirates, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The return leg LOS to EZE carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
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 1 departure a week on EZE to LOS, 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 10h 04m block time on EZE to LOS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to EZE | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At EZE before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| EZE to LOS in the air, estimated | 604 min | 14h 34m |
| Formalities at LOS | 90 min | 16h 04m |
| Delivery run in Lagos | 45 min | 16h 49m |
| Door to door | 1,009 min | 16h 49m |
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 EZE to LOS is 16h 49m.
A courier who leaves Buenos Aires at 09:00 local is on the ground in Lagos at about 23:04 local and at the door by 01:19 the following day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Lagos, nothing leaving Buenos Aires inside a normal working day arrives in time, so this pair is an overnight and a next morning delivery rather than a same day one.
At 16h 49m the mission is past the sixteen hour duty day a single courier is planned against, so it is quoted with a rest at the far end or with a second courier, and never as a turnaround.
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. 6 of them join EZE to LOS.
| Connecting at | EZE to hub, flights a day | Hub to LOS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Addis Ababa ADD | 1.14 | 2.14 | 15,159 | 20h 31m |
| Paris CDG | 1.57 | 1.14 | 15,820 | 21h 33m |
| Frankfurt FRA | 1.43 | 0.86 | 16,357 | 22h 12m |
| Amsterdam AMS | 1.14 | 1.14 | 16,549 | 22h 26m |
| Atlanta ATL | 1.14 | 1.29 | 17,471 | 23h 33m |
6 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Addis Ababa ADD, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through ADD the routing covers 15,159 km against the 7,937 km nonstop track and takes about 20h 31m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 10h 27m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Paris CDG at 21h 33m and Frankfurt FRA at 22h 12m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires AEP is 31 km away by great circle and carries 57 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 EZE to LOS 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.
