ADD to NEK questions
Morning or evening flight on ADD–NEK?
Operators schedule morning departures around 07:25 from ADD. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the NEK delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from ADD to NEK?
Great-circle distance is 242 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 47–51 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does ADD–NEK fly?
Ethiopian Airlines runs the route with about 5 flights a week (sun, wed, thu, fri, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at ADD and arrival-side delay at NEK, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
