CAI to ELQ questions

Morning or evening flight on CAI–ELQ?

Operators schedule morning departures around 05:00 and evening departures around 17:05 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the ELQ delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from CAI to ELQ?

Great-circle distance is 1,283 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 121–140 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does CAI–ELQ fly?

5 carriers operate this route, around 26 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 ELQ, 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.
