Is CMB–CAN running on time right now?

Morning or evening flight on CMB–CAN?

Operators schedule evening departures around 17:35 from CMB. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the CAN delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from CMB to CAN?

Great-circle distance is 3,995 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 312–372 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does CMB–CAN fly?

SriLankan Airlines runs the route with about 4 flights a week (mon, tue, thu, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
