MAA to IXM questions
Morning or evening flight on MAA–IXM?
Operators schedule morning departures around 06:50 and evening departures around 20:45 from MAA. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the IXM delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from MAA to IXM?
Great-circle distance is 417 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 59–66 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MAA–IXM fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 27 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 MAA and arrival-side delay at IXM, 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.
