CAI to MED questions
Morning or evening flight on CAI–MED?
Operators schedule morning departures around 02:25 and evening departures around 17:35 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the MED delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from CAI to MED?
Great-circle distance is 1,027 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 102–118 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CAI–MED fly?
5 carriers operate this route, around 95 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 MED, 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.
