How the Detroit to Portland route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop DTW to PWM flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

DTW to PWM questions
Is DTW–PWM 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 DTW to PWM?
Great-circle distance is 1,073 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 106–122 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does DTW–PWM fly?
3 carriers operate this route, around 35 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 DTW and arrival-side delay at PWM, 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.
