What NCE to TBS looks like
The NCE to TBS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Nice NCE to Tbilisi TBS is a medium haul sector of 3,067 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,067 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 12m.
Nice NCE is a large airport in the network held here, 116 scheduled destinations and 207 departures a day. Tbilisi TBS has 72 destinations and 84 departures a day.
Tbilisi runs 3 hours ahead of Nice in January and 2 hours ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
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.

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. 28 of them join NCE to TBS.
| Connecting at | NCE to hub, flights a day | Hub to TBS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yerevan EVN | 0.57 | 1 | 3,252 | 5h 58m |
| Belgrade BEG | 1.14 | 0.71 | 3,069 | 6h 10m |
| Istanbul SAW | 1.84 | 5.29 | 3,146 | 6h 16m |
| Vienna VIE | 2.86 | 1 | 3,209 | 6h 21m |
| Athens ATH | 1.57 | 1.86 | 3,379 | 6h 34m |
| Prague PRG | 1.57 | 0.57 | 3,426 | 6h 38m |
28 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Yerevan EVN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through EVN the routing covers 3,252 km against the 3,067 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 58m 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 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, Belgrade BEG at 6h 10m and Istanbul SAW at 6h 16m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Nice, Genoa GOA is 154 km away by great circle and carries 30 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Tbilisi, Yerevan EVN is 176 km away by great circle and carries 82 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 NCE to TBS 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.
