What OVB to TBS looks like
The OVB to TBS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Novosibirsk OVB to Tbilisi TBS is a medium haul sector of 3,105 km by great circle, flown nonstop 2 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,105 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 14m.
Novosibirsk OVB is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 79 scheduled destinations and 135.1 departures a day. Tbilisi TBS has 72 destinations and 84 departures a day.
Tbilisi is 3 hours behind of Novosibirsk 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 OVB to TBS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| OVB to TBS | 0.29 | 2 | Georgian Airways |
| TBS to OVB | 0.29 | 2 | Georgian Airways |
One carrier holds the sector, Georgian Airways, 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 OVB to TBS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

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. 15 of them join OVB to TBS.
| Connecting at | OVB to hub, flights a day | Hub to TBS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astana NQZ | 1.71 | 0.71 | 3,136 | 6h 01m |
| Yerevan EVN | 0.71 | 1 | 3,430 | 6h 11m |
| Ekaterinburg SVX | 3.86 | 1.29 | 3,393 | 6h 20m |
| Baku GYD | 0.71 | 7.71 | 3,332 | 6h 20m |
| Sochi AER | 4.14 | 1.14 | 3,747 | 6h 38m |
| Kazan KZN | 2.14 | 0.71 | 3,674 | 6h 41m |
15 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Astana NQZ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through NQZ the routing covers 3,136 km against the 3,105 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 01m 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 47m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Yerevan EVN at 6h 11m and Ekaterinburg SVX at 6h 20m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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 OVB 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.
