What SVQ to OTP looks like
The SVQ to OTP sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Seville SVQ to Bucharest OTP is a medium haul sector of 2,780 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,780 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 03m.
Seville SVQ is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 79 scheduled destinations and 95.9 departures a day. Bucharest OTP has 153 destinations and 247.4 departures a day.
Bucharest carries about 2.6 times the departures of Seville, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Bucharest is one hour ahead of Seville 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.

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. 50 of them join SVQ to OTP.
| Connecting at | SVQ to hub, flights a day | Hub to OTP, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pisa PSA | 0.57 | 1.43 | 2,795 | 5h 34m |
| Bologna BLQ | 1 | 2.86 | 2,813 | 5h 51m |
| Valencia VLC | 2.86 | 1.14 | 2,780 | 5h 54m |
| Alicante ALC | 1.14 | 1.14 | 2,796 | 5h 55m |
| Bergamo BGY | 0.57 | 2.29 | 2,875 | 5h 55m |
| Palma PMI | 5.43 | 1.43 | 2,788 | 5h 58m |
50 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Pisa PSA, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through PSA the routing covers 2,795 km against the 2,780 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 34m 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 31m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bologna BLQ at 5h 51m and Valencia VLC at 5h 54m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Seville, Malaga AGP is 149 km away by great circle and carries 163 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 SVQ to OTP 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.
