How the Wilmington to Philadelphia route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop ILG to PHL 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.
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at ILG 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 ILG to PHL?
Great-circle distance is 38 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 33–33 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does ILG–PHL fly?
American Airlines runs the route with about 28 flights a week (daily). 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 ILG and arrival-side delay at PHL, 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.
