COS to DEN questions

Is COS–DEN running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at DEN is the weaker end, route health score 88/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from COS to DEN?

Great-circle distance is 117 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 38–40 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does COS–DEN fly?

2 carriers operate this route, around 102 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 COS and arrival-side delay at DEN, 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.
