What SVG to LGW looks like
The SVG to LGW sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Stavanger SVG to London LGW is a short sector of 935 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 935 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 42m.
Stavanger SVG is a smaller airport in the network held here, 28 scheduled destinations and 70.4 departures a day. London LGW has 203 destinations and 510.1 departures a day.
London carries about 7.2 times the departures of Stavanger, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
London is one hour behind of Stavanger 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. 21 of them join SVG to LGW.
| Connecting at | SVG to hub, flights a day | Hub to LGW, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergen BGO | 16.57 | 2.43 | 1,230 | 3h 36m |
| Aberdeen ABZ | 3.57 | 2.29 | 1,182 | 3h 45m |
| Amsterdam AMS | 5.43 | 5.29 | 1,097 | 4h 07m |
| Copenhagen CPH | 6.14 | 5.29 | 1,540 | 4h 19m |
| Oslo OSL | 22.14 | 4.29 | 1,567 | 4h 19m |
| Trondheim TRD | 3.71 | 0.71 | 2,101 | 4h 47m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at SVG in the afternoon actually flies on.
21 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bergen BGO, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through BGO the routing covers 1,230 km against the 935 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 36m 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 54m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Aberdeen ABZ at 3h 45m and Amsterdam AMS at 4h 07m 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 London, London LHR is 41 km away by great circle and carries 212 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
London LGW is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Stavanger late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
London LGW, night restrictions: Night movements are capped between 23:30 and 06:00 local under a seasonal quota.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Stavanger later than about 22:48 local arrives at LGW after it has closed for the night, on the 1h 42m block time above.

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 LGW 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.
