Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on SVQ to BHX from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| SVQ to BHX | 0.86 | 6 | Ryanair |

Between them the two directions put about 9 departures a week on SVQ to BHX, 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. 40 of them join SVQ to BHX.
| Connecting at | SVQ to hub, flights a day | Hub to BHX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porto OPO | 1.14 | 1 | 1,840 | 4h 42m |
| Madrid MAD | 5.43 | 1.29 | 1,734 | 4h 47m |
| Lisbon LIS | 3.29 | 1 | 1,945 | 4h 47m |
| Valencia VLC | 2.86 | 0.57 | 1,969 | 4h 52m |
| Ibiza IBZ | 1.71 | 2.71 | 2,184 | 4h 55m |
| Alicante ALC | 1.14 | 5.57 | 2,057 | 4h 58m |
40 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Porto OPO, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through OPO the routing covers 1,840 km against the 1,703 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 42m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 02m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Madrid MAD at 4h 47m and Lisbon LIS at 4h 47m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

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 SVQ to BHX 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.
