FCO to TFU questions

Is FCO–TFU running on time right now?

Some delays possible. The departure side at FCO is the weaker end, route health score 66/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from FCO to TFU?

Great-circle distance is 7,988 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 594–715 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does FCO–TFU fly?

Sichuan Airlines runs the route with about 4 flights a week (tue, thu, fri, sat). 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 FCO and arrival-side delay at TFU, 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.
