What SVG to CGN looks like
The SVG to CGN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Stavanger SVG to Cologne CGN is a short sector of 896 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 896 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 39m.
Stavanger SVG is a smaller airport in the network held here, 28 scheduled destinations and 70.4 departures a day. Cologne CGN has 154 destinations and 168.6 departures a day.
Stavanger and Cologne keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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 SVG to CGN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| SVG to CGN | 0.14 | 1 | EAT Leipzig |
| CGN to SVG | 0 | 0 | none held |
One carrier holds the sector, EAT Leipzig, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The return leg CGN to SVG carries no scheduled nonstop at all, so a courier coming back does it with a connection.
At about once 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 1 departure a week on SVG to CGN, 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 1h 39m block time on SVG to CGN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

| At SVG before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |

| Formalities at CGN | 90 min | 7h 39m |
| Delivery run in Cologne | 45 min | 8h 24m |
| Door to door | 504 min | 8h 24m |
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 SVG to CGN is 8h 24m.

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. 17 of them join SVG to CGN.
| Connecting at | SVG to hub, flights a day | Hub to CGN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| London LGW | 1 | 2 | 1,449 | 4h 27m |
| Stockholm ARN | 1.43 | 1.43 | 1,891 | 4h 48m |
| Alicante ALC | 0.86 | 2.43 | 3,857 | 7h 11m |
| Rhodes RHO | 0.71 | 2.14 | 5,295 | 9h 00m |
17 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is London LGW, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through LGW the routing covers 1,449 km against the 896 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 27m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 90 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is 2h 48m more than the nonstop, which is the price of a missed departure on this pair.
Behind it, Stockholm ARN at 4h 48m and Alicante ALC at 7h 11m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Stavanger, Bergen BGO is 159 km away by great circle and carries 61 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Cologne, Dusseldorf DUS is 54 km away by great circle and carries 176 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 SVG to CGN 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.
