CIT to XIY questions
How long is the flight from CIT to XIY?
Great-circle distance is 3,500 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 277–330 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CIT–XIY fly?
SCAT Airlines runs the route with about 2 flights a week (sun, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at CIT and arrival-side delay at XIY, 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.
