JAX to SBA questions

Is JAX–SBA running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at JAX is the weaker end, route health score 86/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from JAX to SBA?

Great-circle distance is 3,585 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 283–337 min gate-to-gate on this route.

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at JAX and arrival-side delay at SBA, 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.
