What PMI to NCL looks like
The PMI to NCL sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Palma PMI to Newcastle NCL is a medium haul sector of 1,753 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,753 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 44m.
Palma PMI is a major hub in the network held here, 189 scheduled destinations and 536.4 departures a day. Newcastle NCL has 88 destinations and 81.6 departures a day.
Palma carries about 6.6 times the departures of Newcastle, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Newcastle is one hour behind of Palma 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 PMI to NCL from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PMI to NCL | 4.86 | 34 | easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair, TUI Airways |
| NCL to PMI | 4.43 | 31 | easyJet, Jet2, Ryanair, TUI Airways |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 4.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 65 departures a week on PMI to NCL, 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 44m block time on PMI to NCL. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to PMI | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At PMI before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| PMI to NCL in the air, estimated | 164 min | 7h 14m |
| Formalities at NCL | 90 min | 8h 44m |
| Delivery run in Newcastle | 45 min | 9h 29m |
| Door to door | 569 min | 9h 29m |
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 PMI to NCL is 9h 29m.
A courier who leaves Palma at 09:00 local is on the ground in Newcastle at about 10:44 local and at the door by 12:59 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Newcastle, the last useful departure from Palma is around 14:01 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. 31 of them join PMI to NCL.
| Connecting at | PMI to hub, flights a day | Hub to NCL, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza IBZ | 17.86 | 1.86 | 1,952 | 4h 31m |
| Bristol BRS | 8.57 | 1.57 | 1,794 | 4h 37m |
| Belfast BFS | 4 | 3.29 | 2,101 | 4h 45m |
| Barcelona BCN | 26.71 | 0.71 | 1,755 | 4h 47m |
| London LHR | 3.43 | 5 | 1,753 | 4h 49m |
| Dublin DUB | 4.43 | 5.71 | 2,034 | 4h 55m |
With 4.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
31 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Ibiza IBZ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through IBZ the routing covers 1,952 km against the 1,753 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 31m 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, Bristol BRS at 4h 37m and Belfast BFS at 4h 45m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Palma, Ibiza IBZ is 140 km away by great circle and carries 91 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Newcastle, Leeds LBA is 130 km away by great circle and carries 78 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 PMI to NCL 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.
