What STR to CPH looks like

The STR to CPH sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.

Stuttgart STR to Copenhagen CPH is a short sector of 805 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.

The sector is held by SAS.

At the cruise speed this site models for 805 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 32m.

Stuttgart STR is a large airport in the network held here, 127 scheduled destinations and 137.3 departures a day. Copenhagen CPH has 190 destinations and 470.6 departures a day.

Copenhagen carries about 3.4 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.

Stuttgart and Copenhagen 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 STR to CPH from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.

Direction	Flights a day	Flights a week	Operated by
STR to CPH	2	14	SAS
CPH to STR	2	14	SAS

One carrier holds the sector, SAS, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.

Between them the two directions put about 28 departures a week on STR to CPH, 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 32m block time on STR to CPH. 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 CPH in the air, estimated	92 min	6h 02m
Formalities at CPH	90 min	7h 32m
Delivery run in Copenhagen	45 min	8h 17m
Door to door	497 min	8h 17m

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 CPH is 8h 17m.

A courier who leaves Stuttgart at 09:00 local is on the ground in Copenhagen at about 10:32 local and at the door by 12:47 the same day.

Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Copenhagen, the last useful departure from Stuttgart is around 14:13 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. 69 of them join STR to CPH.

Connecting at	STR to hub, flights a day	Hub to CPH, flights a day	Track, km	Estimated, gate to gate
Leipzig LEJ	1.14	1.29	839	3h 14m
Hamburg HAM	3.43	5.14	832	3h 29m
Berlin BER	2.86	6.71	874	3h 32m
Dusseldorf DUS	0.57	5.71	957	3h 40m
Munich MUC	4.57	8.71	1,002	3h 49m
Zurich ZRH	2.86	8.14	1,095	3h 56m

One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at STR in the afternoon actually flies on.

69 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Leipzig LEJ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.

Through LEJ the routing covers 839 km against the 805 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 14m 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 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.

Behind it, Hamburg HAM at 3h 29m and Berlin BER at 3h 32m 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 Copenhagen, Billund BLL is 220 km away by great circle and carries 69 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 Copenhagen.

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 CPH 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.
