CPT to DAR questions
Is CPT–DAR running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 100/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from CPT to DAR?
Great-circle distance is 3,681 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 290–346 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does CPT–DAR fly?
AIR TANZANIA COMPANY LIMITED runs the route with about 2 flights a week (sun, thu). 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 CPT and arrival-side delay at DAR, 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.
