CAI to AHB questions
Morning or evening flight on CAI–AHB?
Operators schedule morning departures around 03:15 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the AHB delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from CAI to AHB?
Great-circle distance is 1,743 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 153–179 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CAI–AHB fly?
3 carriers operate this route, around 13 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 AHB, 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.
