CAI to ADD questions
Morning or evening flight on CAI–ADD?
Operators schedule morning departures around 03:20 and evening departures around 23:30 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the ADD delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from CAI to ADD?
Great-circle distance is 2,474 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 205–242 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CAI–ADD fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 14 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at CAI and arrival-side delay at ADD, 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.
