What SVG to RIX looks like
The SVG to RIX sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Stavanger SVG to Riga RIX is a short sector of 1,101 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,101 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 54m.
Stavanger SVG is a smaller airport in the network held here, 28 scheduled destinations and 70.4 departures a day. Riga RIX has 90 destinations and 102.8 departures a day.
Riga is one hour ahead 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.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on SVG to RIX from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| SVG to RIX | 0.14 | 1 | airBaltic |
| RIX to SVG | 0.14 | 1 | airBaltic |
One carrier holds the sector, airBaltic, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
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 2 departures a week on SVG to RIX, 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. 20 of them join SVG to RIX.
| Connecting at | SVG to hub, flights a day | Hub to RIX, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergen BGO | 16.57 | 0.57 | 1,303 | 3h 42m |
| Oslo OSL | 22.14 | 3.71 | 1,170 | 3h 49m |
| Stockholm ARN | 1.43 | 5.14 | 1,168 | 3h 58m |
| Copenhagen CPH | 6.14 | 6.14 | 1,269 | 4h 07m |
| Warsaw WAW | 0.71 | 3.29 | 1,778 | 4h 38m |
| Krakow KRK | 1 | 0.86 | 2,144 | 4h 59m |
20 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 4 times a week.
Through BGO the routing covers 1,303 km against the 1,101 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 42m 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 48m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Oslo OSL at 3h 49m and Stockholm ARN at 3h 58m 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.

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 RIX 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.
