What CAI to VCE looks like
The CAI to VCE sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Cairo CAI to Venice VCE is a medium haul sector of 2,381 km by great circle, flown nonstop 2 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,381 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 32m.
Cairo CAI is a large airport in the network held here, 105 scheduled destinations and 311.7 departures a day. Venice VCE has 114 destinations and 175 departures a day.
Venice is one hour behind of Cairo all year.
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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on CAI to VCE from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAI to VCE | 0.29 | 2 | EgyptAir |
| VCE to CAI | 0.29 | 2 | EgyptAir |
One carrier holds the sector, EgyptAir, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
At 2 times 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 4.1 departures a week on CAI to VCE, 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 3h 32m block time on CAI to VCE. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CAI | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CAI before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CAI to VCE in the air, estimated | 212 min | 8h 02m |
| Formalities at VCE | 90 min | 9h 32m |
| Delivery run in Venice | 45 min | 10h 17m |
| Door to door | 617 min | 10h 17m |
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 CAI to VCE is 10h 17m.
A courier who leaves Cairo at 09:00 local is on the ground in Venice at about 11:32 local and at the door by 13:47 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Venice, the last useful departure from Cairo is around 13:13 local.
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. 40 of them join CAI to VCE.
| Connecting at | CAI to hub, flights a day | Hub to VCE, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Athens ATH | 6.29 | 3 | 2,383 | 5h 18m |
| Larnaca LCA | 1.14 | 0.57 | 2,717 | 5h 35m |
| Istanbul SAW | 3.57 | 0.71 | 2,676 | 5h 40m |
| Rome FCO | 4.71 | 4.57 | 2,562 | 5h 51m |
| Budapest BUD | 0.71 | 0.86 | 2,759 | 5h 53m |
| Vienna VIE | 2.29 | 6 | 2,797 | 5h 54m |
40 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 3 times a day.
Through ATH the routing covers 2,383 km against the 2,381 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 18m 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 46m 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 5h 35m and Istanbul SAW at 5h 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 Venice, Treviso TSF is 20 km away by great circle and carries 47 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 CAI to VCE 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.
