How the Cairo to Abu Simbel route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop CAI to ABS flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

CAI to ABS questions
Morning or evening flight on CAI–ABS?
Operators schedule morning departures around 08:30 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the ABS delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from CAI to ABS?
Great-circle distance is 862 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 CAI–ABS fly?
Nesma Airlines runs the route with about 2 flights a week (wed). 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 CAI and arrival-side delay at ABS, 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.
