What EIN to FAO looks like
The EIN to FAO sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Eindhoven EIN to Faro FAO is a medium haul sector of 1,919 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,919 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 57m.
Eindhoven EIN is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 74 scheduled destinations and 72.4 departures a day. Faro FAO has 87 destinations and 132.3 departures a day.
Faro is one hour behind of Eindhoven all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on EIN to FAO from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| EIN to FAO | 2.86 | 20 | Ryanair, Transavia |
| FAO to EIN | 2.86 | 20 | Ryanair, Transavia |
Two carriers hold the sector, Ryanair and Transavia, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 40 departures a week on EIN to FAO, 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 2h 57m block time on EIN to FAO. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to EIN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At EIN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| EIN to FAO in the air, estimated | 177 min | 7h 27m |
| Formalities at FAO | 90 min | 8h 57m |
| Delivery run in Faro | 45 min | 9h 42m |
| Door to door | 582 min | 9h 42m |
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 EIN to FAO is 9h 42m.
A courier who leaves Eindhoven at 09:00 local is on the ground in Faro at about 10:57 local and at the door by 13:12 the same day.

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 EIN to FAO.
| Connecting at | EIN to hub, flights a day | Hub to FAO, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lisbon LIS | 1.57 | 2.86 | 2,027 | 4h 53m |
| Porto OPO | 1.14 | 3.57 | 2,035 | 4h 57m |
| Barcelona BCN | 1.71 | 1.43 | 2,144 | 5h 15m |
| London STN | 3.29 | 5.29 | 2,132 | 5h 18m |
| Bergamo BGY | 1.71 | 1.43 | 2,473 | 5h 33m |
| Marrakech RAK | 1.29 | 0.57 | 3,065 | 6h 02m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at EIN 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 Lisbon LIS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through LIS the routing covers 2,027 km against the 1,919 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 53m 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 56m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Porto OPO at 4h 57m and Barcelona BCN at 5h 15m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Eindhoven, Rotterdam RTM is 86 km away by great circle and carries 62 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Faro, Seville SVQ is 189 km away by great circle and carries 79 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 EIN to FAO 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.
