KMG to NKG questions
Morning or evening flight on KMG–NKG?
Operators schedule morning departures around 09:20 and evening departures around 17:00 from KMG. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the NKG delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from KMG to NKG?
Great-circle distance is 1,722 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 152–178 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does KMG–NKG fly?
7 carriers operate this route, around 92 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at KMG and arrival-side delay at NKG, 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.
