What TLV to CDG looks like
The TLV to CDG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Tel Aviv TLV to Paris CDG is a medium haul sector of 3,284 km by great circle, flown nonstop 7.3 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,284 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 27m.
Tel Aviv TLV is a large airport in the network held here, 110 scheduled destinations and 275.3 departures a day. Paris CDG has 277 destinations and 771.4 departures a day.
Paris carries about 2.8 times the departures of Tel Aviv, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Paris is one hour behind of Tel Aviv all year.
The pair sits between Europe and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 66 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on TLV to CDG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV to CDG | 7.29 | 51 | Air France, Arkia Israeli Airlines, El Al |
| CDG to TLV | 7.14 | 50 | Air France, Arkia Israeli Airlines, El Al |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 7.3 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 101 departures a week on TLV to CDG, 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 27m block time on TLV to CDG. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TLV | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TLV before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TLV to CDG in the air, estimated | 267 min | 8h 57m |
| Formalities at CDG | 90 min | 10h 27m |
| Delivery run in Paris | 45 min | 11h 12m |
| Door to door | 672 min | 11h 12m |
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 TLV to CDG is 11h 12m.
A courier who leaves Tel Aviv at 09:00 local is on the ground in Paris at about 12:27 local and at the door by 14:42 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Paris, the last useful departure from Tel Aviv is around 12:18 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. 74 of them join TLV to CDG.
| Connecting at | TLV to hub, flights a day | Hub to CDG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sofia SOF | 3 | 1.71 | 3,313 | 6h 13m |
| Larnaca LCA | 18.72 | 0.71 | 3,320 | 6h 18m |
| Venice VCE | 1 | 7 | 3,284 | 6h 27m |
| Tirana TIA | 2.86 | 0.57 | 3,288 | 6h 27m |
| Athens ATH | 18 | 8.43 | 3,303 | 6h 28m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.57 | 2.29 | 3,325 | 6h 30m |
With 7.3 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.
74 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Sofia SOF, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through SOF the routing covers 3,313 km against the 3,284 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 13m 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 46m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Larnaca LCA at 6h 18m and Venice VCE at 6h 27m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Tel Aviv, Amman AMM is 109 km away by great circle and carries 72 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Paris, Paris ORY is 35 km away by great circle and carries 157 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.
Paris CDG is shut to scheduled movements between 00:00 and 05:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Tel Aviv late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Paris CDG, night restrictions: Scheduled movements between midnight and 05:00 local are limited to a fixed annual number of slots.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Tel Aviv later than about 20:33 local arrives at CDG after it has closed for the night, on the 4h 27m 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 TLV to CDG 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.
