What TLS to FAO looks like
The TLS to FAO sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Toulouse TLS to Faro FAO is a short sector of 1,079 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,079 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 53m.
Toulouse TLS is a large airport in the network held here, 90 scheduled destinations and 100.6 departures a day. Faro FAO has 87 destinations and 132.3 departures a day.
Faro is one hour behind of Toulouse 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 TLS to FAO from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLS to FAO | 0.43 | 3 | Ryanair |
| FAO to TLS | 0.43 | 3 | Ryanair |
One carrier holds the sector, Ryanair, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 6 departures a week on TLS to FAO, 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 53m block time on TLS to FAO. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TLS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TLS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TLS to FAO in the air, estimated | 113 min | 6h 23m |
| Formalities at FAO | 90 min | 7h 53m |
| Delivery run in Faro | 45 min | 8h 38m |
| Door to door | 518 min | 8h 38m |
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 TLS to FAO is 8h 38m.
A courier who leaves Toulouse at 09:00 local is on the ground in Faro at about 09:53 local and at the door by 12:08 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Faro, the last useful departure from Toulouse is around 14:52 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. 29 of them join TLS to FAO.
| Connecting at | TLS to hub, flights a day | Hub to FAO, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lisbon LIS | 2.86 | 2.86 | 1,251 | 3h 54m |
| Porto OPO | 1 | 3.57 | 1,340 | 4h 03m |
| Madrid MAD | 3 | 2.57 | 1,079 | 4h 05m |
| Nantes NTE | 3.14 | 1.43 | 1,697 | 4h 15m |
| Marseille MRS | 1.43 | 1 | 1,638 | 4h 25m |
| Lyon LYS | 4.86 | 1.43 | 1,831 | 4h 39m |
29 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Lisbon LIS, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through LIS the routing covers 1,251 km against the 1,079 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 54m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 01m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Porto OPO at 4h 03m and Madrid MAD at 4h 05m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Toulouse, Bordeaux BOD is 213 km away by great circle and carries 84 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Faro, Seville SVQ is 189 km away by great circle and carries 79 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

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 TLS to FAO 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.
