What STR to AYT looks like
The STR to AYT sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Stuttgart STR to Antalya AYT is a medium haul sector of 2,182 km by great circle, flown nonstop 9.1 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,182 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 17m.
Stuttgart STR is a large airport in the network held here, 127 scheduled destinations and 137.3 departures a day. Antalya AYT has 182 destinations and 518.9 departures a day.
Antalya carries about 3.8 times the departures of Stuttgart, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Antalya runs 2 hours ahead of Stuttgart in January and one hour ahead in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
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 STR to AYT from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| STR to AYT | 9.14 | 64 | Corendon Air, Freebird Airlines, Pegasus, Sun Express |
| AYT to STR | 8.94 | 62.6 | Corendon Air, Freebird Airlines, Pegasus, Sun Express, Eurowings |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 9.1 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 126.6 departures a week on STR to AYT, 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 3h 17m block time on STR to AYT. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to STR | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At STR before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| STR to AYT in the air, estimated | 197 min | 7h 47m |
| Formalities at AYT | 90 min | 9h 17m |
| Delivery run in Antalya | 45 min | 10h 02m |
| Door to door | 602 min | 10h 02m |
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 STR to AYT is 10h 02m.
A courier who leaves Stuttgart at 09:00 local is on the ground in Antalya at about 14:17 local and at the door by 16:32 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Antalya, the last useful departure from Stuttgart is around 10:28 local.
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. 46 of them join STR to AYT.
| Connecting at | STR to hub, flights a day | Hub to AYT, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pristina PRN | 5.01 | 1.71 | 2,186 | 4h 47m |
| Izmir ADB | 3.71 | 3.14 | 2,200 | 4h 52m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.86 | 2.29 | 2,192 | 5h 03m |
| Tirana TIA | 1.14 | 2 | 2,231 | 5h 06m |
| Bucharest OTP | 0.86 | 8.57 | 2,304 | 5h 12m |
| Vienna VIE | 3.71 | 13.71 | 2,248 | 5h 13m |
With 9.1 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
46 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Pristina PRN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through PRN the routing covers 2,186 km against the 2,182 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 47m 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 30m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Izmir ADB at 4h 52m and Belgrade BEG at 5h 03m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Stuttgart, Zurich ZRH is 145 km away by great circle and carries 223 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Antalya, Rhodes RHO is 248 km away by great circle and carries 117 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.
Stuttgart STR is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, so a collection in Stuttgart that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Antalya.
Stuttgart STR, night restrictions: No scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local.

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 STR to AYT 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.
