BMI to ATL questions
Is BMI–ATL running on time right now?
High disruption likely. The arrival side at ATL is the weaker end, route health score 34/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from BMI to ATL?
Great-circle distance is 858 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 91–104 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does BMI–ATL fly?
Delta Air Lines runs the route with about 20 flights a week (daily). 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 BMI and arrival-side delay at ATL, 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.
