CCU to MAA questions
Morning or evening flight on CCU–MAA?
Operators schedule morning departures around 05:05 and evening departures around 18:10 from CCU. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the MAA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from CCU to MAA?
Great-circle distance is 1,386 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 128–149 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CCU–MAA fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 49 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 CCU and arrival-side delay at MAA, 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.
