What TLL to ARN looks like
The TLL to ARN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Tallinn TLL to Stockholm ARN is a short sector of 391 km by great circle, flown nonstop 6.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 391 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 05m.
Tallinn TLL is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 49 scheduled destinations and 66.3 departures a day. Stockholm ARN has 160 destinations and 329.4 departures a day.
Stockholm carries about 5 times the departures of Tallinn, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Stockholm is one hour behind of Tallinn 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 TLL to ARN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLL to ARN | 6.86 | 48 | ASL Airlines Belgium, Ryanair, SAS |
| ARN to TLL | 6.14 | 43 | Ryanair, SAS |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 6.9 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 91 departures a week on TLL to ARN, 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 05m block time on TLL to ARN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TLL | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TLL before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TLL to ARN in the air, estimated | 65 min | 5h 35m |
| Formalities at ARN | 90 min | 7h 05m |
| Delivery run in Stockholm | 45 min | 7h 50m |
| Door to door | 470 min | 7h 50m |
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 TLL to ARN is 7h 50m.
A courier who leaves Tallinn at 09:00 local is on the ground in Stockholm at about 09:05 local and at the door by 11:20 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Stockholm, the last useful departure from Tallinn is around 15:40 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. 38 of them join TLL to ARN.
| Connecting at | TLL to hub, flights a day | Hub to ARN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helsinki HEL | 11.86 | 19.57 | 500 | 2h 59m |
| Riga RIX | 5.43 | 5.29 | 747 | 3h 06m |
| Vilnius VNO | 2 | 2.29 | 1,244 | 3h 50m |
| Gdansk GDN | 0.86 | 3.01 | 1,267 | 3h 52m |
| Oslo OSL | 1.14 | 18 | 1,157 | 3h 57m |
| Copenhagen CPH | 3.86 | 21.29 | 1,386 | 4h 07m |
With 6.9 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.
38 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Helsinki HEL, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 11.9 times a day.
Through HEL the routing covers 500 km against the 391 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 59m 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 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, Riga RIX at 3h 06m and Vilnius VNO at 3h 50m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 391 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 6h 07m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
If nothing suitable leaves Tallinn, Helsinki HEL is 101 km away by great circle and carries 124 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.
Stockholm ARN is shut to scheduled movements between 22:00 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Tallinn late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Stockholm ARN, night restrictions: Night movements are restricted between 22:00 and 06:00 local with exemptions.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Tallinn later than about 21:55 local arrives at ARN after it has closed for the night, on the 1h 05m 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 TLL to ARN 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.
