ELQ to CAI questions

How long is the flight from ELQ to CAI?

Great-circle distance is 1,283 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 121–140 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does ELQ–CAI fly?

5 carriers operate this route, around 21 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 ELQ and arrival-side delay at CAI, 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.
