How the Faro to Alicante route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop FAO to ALC 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.

FAO to ALC questions
Is FAO–ALC running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at ALC is the weaker end, route health score 92/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from FAO to ALC?
Great-circle distance is 667 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 77–87 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does FAO–ALC fly?
Enter Air runs the route with about 1 flight a week (tue). 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 FAO and arrival-side delay at ALC, 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.
