What NTE to LPA looks like
The NTE to LPA sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Nantes NTE to Las Palmas LPA is a medium haul sector of 2,450 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,450 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 38m.
Nantes NTE is a large airport in the network held here, 89 scheduled destinations and 98 departures a day. Las Palmas LPA has 119 destinations and 213 departures a day.
Las Palmas is one hour behind of Nantes 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 NTE to LPA from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.

|---|---|---|---|
| NTE to LPA | 0.43 | 3 | easyJet, Volotea |
| LPA to NTE | 0.43 | 3 | easyJet, Volotea |

Between them the two directions put about 6 departures a week on NTE to LPA, 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 38m block time on NTE to LPA. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

| At NTE before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| NTE to LPA in the air, estimated | 218 min | 8h 08m |

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. 33 of them join NTE to LPA.
| Connecting at | NTE to hub, flights a day | Hub to LPA, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tenerife TFS | 1 | 11.71 | 2,608 | 5h 21m |
| Marrakech RAK | 3.14 | 0.57 | 2,631 | 5h 22m |
| Lisbon LIS | 2.29 | 0.71 | 2,451 | 5h 23m |
| Porto OPO | 2.57 | 0.86 | 2,467 | 5h 24m |
| Madeira FNC | 0.86 | 1.14 | 2,601 | 5h 25m |
| Malaga AGP | 1.29 | 3.57 | 2,599 | 5h 34m |
33 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Tenerife TFS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through TFS the routing covers 2,608 km against the 2,450 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 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 43m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Marrakech RAK at 5h 22m and Lisbon LIS at 5h 23m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Las Palmas, Tenerife TFN is 112 km away by great circle and carries 33 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 NTE to LPA 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.
