What STR to TBS looks like
The STR to TBS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Stuttgart STR to Tbilisi TBS is a medium haul sector of 2,878 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,878 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 11m.
Stuttgart STR is a large airport in the network held here, 127 scheduled destinations and 137.3 departures a day. Tbilisi TBS has 72 destinations and 84 departures a day.
Tbilisi runs 3 hours ahead of Stuttgart in January and 2 hours 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 TBS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| STR to TBS | 0.14 | 1 | Eurowings |
| TBS to STR | 0.29 | 2 | Eurowings |
One carrier holds the sector, Eurowings, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
The two directions are not level: STR to TBS runs about once a week, the return runs 2 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
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 3 departures a week on STR to TBS, 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 4h 11m block time on STR to TBS. 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 TBS in the air, estimated | 251 min | 8h 41m |
| Formalities at TBS | 90 min | 10h 11m |
| Delivery run in Tbilisi | 45 min | 10h 56m |
| Door to door | 656 min | 10h 56m |
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 TBS is 10h 56m.
A courier who leaves Stuttgart at 09:00 local is on the ground in Tbilisi at about 16:11 local and at the door by 18:26 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Tbilisi, the last useful departure from Stuttgart is around 08:34 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. 23 of them join STR to TBS.
| Connecting at | STR to hub, flights a day | Hub to TBS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vienna VIE | 3.71 | 1 | 2,879 | 6h 02m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.86 | 0.71 | 2,966 | 6h 03m |
| Warsaw WAW | 1.14 | 1.14 | 3,064 | 6h 10m |
| Istanbul SAW | 6.14 | 5.29 | 3,107 | 6h 13m |
| Munich MUC | 4.57 | 1.14 | 2,880 | 6h 13m |
| Istanbul IST | 5.14 | 4.71 | 3,085 | 6h 26m |
23 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Vienna VIE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through VIE the routing covers 2,879 km against the 2,878 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 02m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 51m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Belgrade BEG at 6h 03m and Warsaw WAW at 6h 10m 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 Tbilisi, Yerevan EVN is 176 km away by great circle and carries 82 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 Tbilisi.
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 TBS 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.
