What HAM to CFU looks like
The HAM to CFU sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Hamburg HAM to Corfu CFU is a medium haul sector of 1,730 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,730 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 43m.
Hamburg HAM is a large airport in the network held here, 118 scheduled destinations and 203.6 departures a day. Corfu CFU has 102 destinations and 96.9 departures a day.
Corfu is one hour ahead of Hamburg 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 HAM to CFU from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| HAM to CFU | 2.71 | 19 | Condor, Eurowings |
| CFU to HAM | 1.57 | 11 | Eurowings |
Two carriers hold the sector, Condor and Eurowings, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
The two directions are not level: HAM to CFU runs about twice a day, the return runs about once a day, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 30 departures a week on HAM to CFU, 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 43m block time on HAM to CFU. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to HAM | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At HAM before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| HAM to CFU in the air, estimated | 163 min | 7h 13m |
| Formalities at CFU | 90 min | 8h 43m |
| Delivery run in Corfu | 45 min | 9h 28m |
| Door to door | 568 min | 9h 28m |
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 HAM to CFU is 9h 28m.
A courier who leaves Hamburg at 09:00 local is on the ground in Corfu at about 12:43 local and at the door by 14:58 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Corfu, the last useful departure from Hamburg is around 12:02 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. 52 of them join HAM to CFU.
| Connecting at | HAM to hub, flights a day | Hub to CFU, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zagreb ZAG | 0.57 | 0.57 | 1,730 | 4h 21m |
| Budapest BUD | 0.86 | 1.71 | 1,822 | 4h 35m |
| Bari BRI | 0.57 | 0.86 | 1,795 | 4h 36m |
| Vienna VIE | 7.57 | 2.14 | 1,750 | 4h 38m |
| Stuttgart STR | 3.57 | 1 | 1,872 | 4h 45m |
| Dusseldorf DUS | 2.14 | 3.14 | 1,990 | 4h 51m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at HAM in the afternoon actually flies on.
52 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Zagreb ZAG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through ZAG the routing covers 1,730 km against the 1,730 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 21m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 38m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Budapest BUD at 4h 35m and Bari BRI at 4h 36m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Hamburg, Bremen BRE is 103 km away by great circle and carries 31 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Corfu, Tirana TIA is 202 km away by great circle and carries 105 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Hamburg HAM is shut to scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local, so a collection in Hamburg that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Corfu.
Hamburg HAM, night restrictions: No scheduled movements between 23:00 and 06:00 local. Delayed landings are allowed until midnight.

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 HAM to CFU 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.
