KIJ to OKD questions
Morning or evening flight on KIJ–OKD?
Operators schedule morning departures around 10:15 from KIJ. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the OKD delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from KIJ to OKD?
Great-circle distance is 605 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 73–82 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does KIJ–OKD fly?
Toki Air runs the route with about 7 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 KIJ and arrival-side delay at OKD, 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.
